WHAT DO WE DO WITH GAYS? Maggie Gallagher

A friend wrote to ask me this question. This was my answer:

"Does it ever strike you that this question: What should I do with gay people? Is deeply condescending and offensive?

I don't think I should do anything with gay people, except treat you with the dignity of a) a child of God b) a fellow citizen c) a potential friend and neighbor, brother etc. d) sometimes an ally and sometimes an opponent on things about which we agree or disagree.

I am surrounded by people who do not share my view of sexual ethics. I don't "do" anything with them either, except sometimes share my views and sometime keep my big mouth shut."

If you take Andrew's sentences and substitute "single person" for "gay citizens" you will see what I mean.
