The "Needs" Of Certain Students

I wrote the following letter to a news outlet several months ago.  It is a response to an article written about LGBT students and their "needs."

So……… “Addressing the needs of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students” is necessary. I can simplify their needs. What is it they “need.”? They need to get an education. They need to quit bothering people. They need to quit being so selfish and getting caught up with these destructive trends. They need to decide that their personal problems are not the problems of everybody else. They need to realize that the four stated groups are not new to society, and that they need no special recognition or attention. They need to know that they were not “born that way.” They need to know that they have been lied to. They need to know that the average person has, at times, felt a same-sex attraction, but most have decided to not make it their lifestyle. They need to know that the four groups can do damage to society and the family. There is more, but I will finish with this……They need to change.  Is it possible?  Of course it is. They just need to want to change.
