Letter to Editer ) March 13, 1969 Dear Sir: After reading the opinions of the gentleman, who was not in favour of, the passing af the bill ta legalize homosexuality between consenting adults, I decided ta also relate my opinions,' which are in favour of the bill. I, personally, know of no0 one whç9 engages in hamosexual acts, yýet 1 feel that in passing the bill, it is in its right standing. It is a matter that affects very few persans, yet ta arrest two persans because of tieir private, and very personal acts is degrad- ing ta the persans involved, their familles and their jobs. The law prohibiting hamosexuality does not change their sexual emotions, and punshment has neyer chang- ed a hamosexual. The gentleman stated that the government is jaining themn when they can1 beat them. I feel this is a'very narraw minded state- ment. The goverament is certain- ly not prômoting homosexuality. They are only trying ta under- stand a situationî that does exist. f1oamosexuality certainly did nat corne into being with aur present youth revôlt. It has been with us ,%ince life began. Let us, as aduits, be open-minded enough as ta recognize this, and not put it down as a fault af todays youth. 1 agree with the gentleman that this is the age when we need strong, fearless leadership. I feel this is exactly what we are get. ting. A governmnent that has the strength ta propose such a bill knawing of the criticism it wil receive, is, a strong government. 'A govenment that has enough human feelings ta care about what happens ta ALL of the peo- ple is a government, ta be proud of. If a persan is ignorant of the f acts conefting homosexuality, then he has no right ta judge or condema his fellow-nian. If homosexuality remaîns a crime, then send the offenders ta Prison, where in prison homa- sexual acts are flourishing. If this is the solution then there is ne hope for anyone. Mrs. V. J. Simpson, R.R.2, Newcastle, Ont. * tCharIie Brown Week" At Your Clarke Publie Library MARCLI l7th to MARCH 2d OPEN EVERY DAY FOR ONE WEEK For the benefit of Publie Sehool Children Fre Baloos -Lucky Prizes Twe.ýntyfive ballons given away ecd day.
