Coming Out headline not all-encompassing

There are supporters of this week, yes, but then there are also many who believe that homosexuality is wrong.

We, of course, are labeled as ignorant and intolerant for believing this. And I understand that our country’s morals are getting worse and worse, but some of us do still believe in God’s Word, and according to his Word, homosexuality is wrong.

It just irks me that The Pitt News prints articles with titles that basically say, “Oh well, everyone believes this,” when that is not the truth of the matter. I’d like to see an article that asks all the pastors and church leaders what the different faiths view on homosexuality is, but then, so many of their views have become skewed as well.
