I’m sure everyone has noticed the chalked ways and other paraphernalia concerning gays, lesbians, and bisexuals around campus. Please let me be the first to say that I believe in the freedom of expression and the freedom of sexual preference, but when the ideas of expression are not thought through, I must express my opinion.

First, there are certain bike paths and walkways designated for gays, lesbians and bisexuals. May I ask what this may mean for me, a heterosexual female, if I was to walk or ride my bicycle on one of these paths? Am I a lesbian or bisexual? I certainly think not. So what is the point of choosing these public walkways and bike paths as gay, lesbian, or bisexual territories? It’s nice to see gay pride being expressed, but these expressions should be thought through completely.

Second, having homosexuals wear jeans on a designated day is not a good way to express sexual freedom. Especially since more than 85 percent of the heterosexual students wear blue jeans anyway.

Also, I saw slanderous remarks against Christians chalked on Faner. How can you search for social acceptance while slandering someone else’s beliefs and ideals? I am Christian, but I have no hatred or dislike for homosexuals.

Express yourself! Make yourself known! But please think about the effect it will have on everyone.
