Ignorance is outrageous

Editor: I would like to say to Mr. Kleinhammer that the only outrage is his ignorant attitude. I do not know any gay or lesbian person who has relations with animals or inanimate objects. The right to marry should be for all adults, it is after all a human right and unless you're willing to further your narrow-minded attitude and say that we are not humans, may I suggest a class on valuing diversity. If the class doesn't work for you, I have read that the KKK is low on membership numbers.

Also, since you know so much about LGBT people, you should know that we have this thing called a gaydar; we know who's gay and who's not, so if no one in your family is gay don't worry we won't hit on them. Now for the perverted behavior... I must admit that I have no idea what you're talking about.

As for holding off on Pride parades, I don't see that happening any time soon. We have earned our right to celebrate our culture, our lifestyle and our traditions. For you to threaten our rights is un-American. The shame is yours, not the court's. Play your tricks; last I checked hate crimes are punishable and not tolerated.

Lastly, June is coming up and the parades are on the way, so to all the LGBT friends and family -- come out, come out wherever you are!
