Disrespect spoken loudly

The Spokesman-Review

This letter is in response to some of the letters I have read in recent weeks.

I am a 50-year-old Christian male, and I am heterosexual. I have been married to my wife for 18 years and have two children. I have NO problem with two people who love each other, whatever sex, age, color or religion they may be, living in a loving relationship and sharing a life together. I also feel we should love each other as human beings and respect each other’s beliefs.

I believe in a marriage of a man and woman and that a majority of American citizens feel the same. There are those that do not respect others’ beliefs or majority rules. I have found those to have the loudest voices.
