This is in response to the letter to the editor from Laurie O’Higgins (Oct. 12). She should not infer that Jesus would embrace same-sex relationships. Jesus’ work on earth was redemption — freeing folks from all types of bondage; homosexuality, I believe, is bondage.

The early Christian movement could not have survived had it embraced the perversions of the time in ancient Rome and Greece.

On another subject, I feel it would be good journalism (fair and balanced) if editorialists would settle the indoctrination of children issue if gay marriage is allowed. Indoctrination would take place by the validation or the equating of homosexual marriage to traditional marriage, as the image of two women or two men together would be unavoidable for children of such a couple.

There could be no controversy on the issue if newspapers would do their job.

When I worked at the Farmington Fair, family after family from Massachusetts verified the malicious campaign going on in the schools there.

Finally, why don’t the editorialists score the governor’s office for putting Janet Mills in charge of judging the indoctrination issue? She has shown her biased hand, and it is a classic case of “the wolf guarding the henhouse.”
