On the recordMarch 6, 1997
Your basic point about those of us expressing another view becoming beaten down, I will have to say, I just expressed something a few moments ago about the hiring of homosexuals by the Boy Scouts. Let me say that I personally never criticize people's personal lives. I do not. I will answer to God for my personal life and I have my own set of beliefs. I just will not criticize people for their personal lives. But let me say, I demand the right for myself and for others to have the right to make those value judgments and to make those stands and to express them. But I can tell you right now, I will be attacked by saying the Boy Scouts have a right to set their own standards, I will be attacked as if I am advocating an attack on somebody else. In reality, it is the people with more traditional values who are under attack.
