Ray Lancon of Los Angeles wrote into the Los Angeles Times in response to their piece on San Diego Mayor Sander’s about-face of marriage:
Sanders stands by his family and honors his daughter, exactly what a father should do, and it is labeled a betrayal.
Exactly who are these 200 "pro-family" pastors who would condemn an honorable, courageous and loving parent, and what golden rule are they following: "Do unto others as you would have them do to you, unless their politics differ from yours"?
Lancon would have us believe that we should change our positions on important legal and sociological issues if a family member asks us to. This is absurd, and I’m so tired of the homosexuality and marriage neutering advocates who try to make their self-serving political agenda a deal-breaker in family relationships. There are many things my relatives do and stances they take that I disagree with, but I do not insist that they either agree with me or they are dishonor me.
If Sanders’ daughter were to counterfeit money, should Sanders declare that doing so is the right thing to do?
Turn this around on any family member or friend who tries it on you. If they try to pressure you to support marriage neutering, tell them they are dishonoring you and things you hold dear.
