Letter: Conservatives seek to impose their ‘morals’
Thursday, Oct. 24, 2002 | 9:28 a.m.
I had to respond to letter writer Robert Slaby's Oct. 22 remarks about wondering what is next on the liberal agenda.
I would hope since I am a liberal (and sick of it being used as a dirty word by conservatives) that it would be to not allow legal discrimination against anyone based on their sex, religion, race or sexual orientation. I would hope that it would allow people who love each other to be able to make a legal commitment to one another and to be allowed the same legal rights that others in our country are already allowed.
I have always wondered why conservatives have to stick their noses into everyone else's business. Conservatives are the first to cry for smaller government and then to hypocritically request that the government intrude into our personal lives by legislating their "moral" values -- as if somehow they have cornered the market on morals.
If conservatives worried more about being better people than worrying about what other people do in their personal lives, I believe that the world would be a much better place.
I think that perhaps Robert Slaby should seek remedial education since, regardless of one's beliefs about who should be able to marry whom, "one man married to one woman" is already the law in the state of Nevada.
Oh, and before you draw any conservative conclusions about who I am, I am a happily married mother of two who has been married to the same man for 10 years.
