I was very excited to read your homeownership supplement and as always, Washington Informer, you didnโ€™t disappoint. I learn so much from your supplements and paper in general. I make sure to pick three or four papers up so that I can pass these out to my friends and family!

Look Inward to Address Homophobia

I completely agree with your column editor. I think the touchiness about the โ€œArthurโ€ episode showing gay characters has more to do with adults than children. The adults donโ€™t want it shown or aired because of their own homophobia, period. Why act as if gay relationships arenโ€™t a reality? They are. People need to understand that seeing two people of the same sex wonโ€™t turn someone gay just as much as seeing straight people canโ€™t make someone not gay. I hope you get my point.
