Show The Summer Chronicle, Wednesday, June 28, 1978 Page Seven BCHRONICLE arthur hoppe hr fiiiK.m 1776 and All That The Supreme Court the other day overturned a New Voik prohibiting anyone but licensed pharmicists from selline contraceptives. In one of the most eloquent dissents of all time. Justice William Rehnquist evoked the memory of "those who valiantly but vainly defended the heights of Bunker Hill in law 1775." He said they would be outraged at the very thought of allowing "commercial vendors of contraceptives to peddle them to unmarried minors through such means as window displays and vending machines located in the men's rooms of truck stops." As any student of the American Revolution knows, Justice Rehnquist is absolutely right. Who will ever forget the conversations between Piivate Jebediah Slocum and veteran Corporal Xate Wadsworth on Hie heights that historic day? "We're fighting. Jeb," said the Corporal grimly, "for out continued from page 6 And how are the participants in the boycott poor losers to refuse to spend their money in states that haven't ratified ERA? There are no winners and losers yet. The boycott is legal, and it is as American as boycotting tea. It is the people yelling "foul" and calling the boycott terrible who need to get things in perspective. What I hear in the attacks on the boycott is that it must be having some effect. It is too bad that some innocent people will be hurt economically by the boycott. The British tea merchants were probably fairly innocent, too. But there is a struggle going on over a great cause, which will affect the livelihoods of American women permanently. VI. It will not affect the Constitution to extend the deadline for ratification. Article V of the Constitution outlines the process for amendments. There is no limit on the time an amendment can take to be ratified. Congress has the power to extend the deadline because it invented the seven-yea- r iii.is deadline. VII. ERA would not win the battle for gay rights. To illustrate how equality would affect gays: it would be illegal to pass laws allowing male homosexuals to marry but prohibit female homosexuals from marrying. It would have to be one way or the other for both males and females. But ERA does not dictate which way the laws would have to go on gay rights. VIII. ERA will not affect the abortion issue. The Supreme Court has already made decisions allowing abortions, based on right of privacy and other kinds of issues than equality. So there will be no victory for people in the passage of ERA. And ERA, if passed, will not prevent the Supreme Court from reconsidering its stand on abortion and such questions as "what is human life?" Finally, to those who think they have the right to oppose the idea of equality. How can you be against the rights of pro-choi- ce another American? Lee Anne Walker The plight of homosexuals Editor: This letter is in response to Stuart A. McDonald's letter several weeks ago (May 31 Chrony), which decried the plight of the homosexual. As has been the case with the major proportion of "defenses" of the gay individual or the gay community, McDonald's letter contains basic contradictions in logic as well as emotional appeals grounded on personal (gay) perspectives rather than on any body of reliable evidence. For example, McDonald makes an unequivocal assertion that "homosexuality, like heterosexuality, is inherent as a tendency in all sexually responsive (apparently not inherent in responsive) human beings." This assertion is in the same letter that claims "society's condemnation of homosexuals is a refusal (by society?) to take into account the realities of individual human sexuality and the failure (for society?) to admit its own reponsibility in creating and perpetuating its (homosexuals, deviants?) existence and characteristics including their subcultures." Now, how is it that homosexuality is inherited in sexually responsive human beings, yet also "created" and "perpetuated" in characteristics and existence and subculture by society? If human sexuality or sexual roles are society's fault, then what part does genetics play? What evidence (scientific, not just asserted "wishes" of some members of the gay community) is there which makes it, according to McDonald, an attraction is part of the "established fact that same-gendof human beings. . ."? natural sexual behavior Although I am opposed to unjust and abusive treatment of anyone, including homosexuals, I do not know of any non-sexual- ly er McDonald's implied that would support recommendations; namely that society "accept" evidence homosexuality as natural and normal or that society is to blame for the homosexuals' deviant condition, its inception, its development or its consequences. Contrary to what the more vocal gay community would like us to believe, the vast bulk of psychological and sociological literature and research "establishes" the fact that homosexuality is z learned sexual role preference. Moreover, learned sexual deviancies can be unlearned or brought under individual control just as any other learned deviant preference, such as stealing, lying or speeding. But, you see, for the gay community to accept such evidence, would place the onus of the responsibility for homosexuality or its modification squarely on its own shoulders. It is far easier to blame society or to appeal to society's present "modern" approach to accommodating or tplerating almost any preferred way of life. D.
