Writer's note: The following is the first part of a three-part series about homosexuality. This week's installment is focused on the argument for acceptance and / or tolerance of homosexuality at Southwest Baptist University. Next week's installment will delve into why we should continue our current stance on sexual impropriety.
In the aftermath of the Virginia Tech tragedy, it is important for Southwest Baptist students to have a time of reflection. It is hard to take an event that happened half a country away and set it aside, to give it honor and acknowledgement. Yes, it was shocking, terrible and devastating, but do we really grasp what happened? I want you to think hard and long about it.
