a hypothetical letter to Bill O'Reilly and Sandy Ros about their homophobic beliefs which they expressed on the July 11 edition of The O'Reilly Factor
____________________________________________
Dear Bill O'Reilly and Sandy Rios,
We gays and bisexuals aren't so bad. There's no need to run away from us screaming for dear life for fear you might catch our gay. It's not contagious, you know? We're not going to turn America's children gay with our immoral ways. I know it must be hard to believe but children knowing we exist isn't going to poison their little minds, in fact it might help them to grow up to be intelligent open minded people, unlike you. Perhaps if people learn from a young age that homosexuality is not a sin and is a perfectly normal thing then in time homophobia will disappear. But, alas, for the time being it is still a strong force and you sure as hell aren't helping. You act as if we are sub-human, but why? We're just like anyone else, we deserve the same treatment and shouldn't be seen as immoral. So what if they scheduled "gay day" the same day they were giving out free hats to kids? So what if some kids saw two gals or guys kissing? So what if gay and straight people commingle? It's not hurting anyone and it may even open some minds so why the freak out? And now I'd like to address you Sandy Rios, Fox news analyst and president of the "family values" group Culture Campaign. You're the president of another one of the many organizations that support your distorted form of "family views", basically a way of saying hyper-Christian, close-minded bigot beliefs. This group is, of course, not exactly gay-friendly and is also connected with not are kids.com, a site that urges parents to pull their kids out of school for the day of silence (god forbid your god fearing lil' babies should have to be exposed to a gay rights, grass roots movement. They might actually form their own opinions). In your interview with Bill O'Reilly you took his side that the gays shouldn't have been any where near the children, and even had the audacity to claim that being gay is a decision when you said "Well Bill there's a big difference in going to a ball game and sitting next to a lesbian couple or a homosexual couple and enjoying a game together and having a night that celebrates their decision." Well Rios, you need a reality check. Your sexual orientation is not a choice, being around gays wont make you gay, and there's nothing wrong with gays being around kids, and you need to think about that. I would also like to point out that in this little debate Ron deHarte (executive director of gay pride in San Diego) barely got a word in edge wise. Your show is nothing but a bunch of biased, close-minded BS.
sincerely,
Ms. Motley
