Respect our rights, too

I agree with your April 2 editorial, The Indiana effect. “Gay-bashing has no place in state statutes,” but, in my opinion, gay-life celebration has been allowed to go entirely to far.

Why should gay, “in your face” behavior, be permitted, much less encouraged? I would prefer that the LGBT confine their sexual orientation to their bedrooms. I don’t understand, accept, or endorse their lifestyle, but I respect their rights to be live their lives. They should respect the rest of us as well.
