To the Editor:
Jim Moeller's letter ("Name-calling hateful," The Columbian, Feb. 3, 1997) employs typical, time-worn pro-homosexual tactics of placing blame and special pleading in an attempt to distract from the true issue.
While he claims victimhood, Moeller is well aware that, on this issue, conservatives have only two choices: We can either meekly submit to taxpayer-financed social tinkering and public policy finessing by politically sophisticated homosexual activists, or we can get involved and halt efforts such as the homosexual wedding march coming at us from Hawaii.
I recently met with Washington's Senate Majority Leader Dan McDonald and House Speaker Clyde Ballard, and we are in agreement that it has become necessary to pass legislation banning same-sex "marriage." Neither they nor my organization, Washington for Traditional Values, should have had to confront this issue at all. We have been compelled to act because of aggressive legal and political manipulation, favoring a special interest which can only be identified by its claimed sexual behaviors, which is bent on forcing a redefinition of American culture and family.
Sincerely,
Robert R. Larimer Jr.
