Mainstream Agrees 

Anthony Jordan’s "Perspective" article in the Aug. 29 issue was right on. For several years, I have wanted to find a way to express my indignation with "mainstreamers," but have never found a way to do it without being offensive. Jordan accomplishes that quite well.
      Many groups with minority status (I, too, am speaking mainly of religious, political and personal preference minority status) wish to force us, the majority, to accept their behavior or beliefs as normal. Yet should the majority even try to imply that the opposite is true, we would be directly labeled as bigots.  I fail to see how and why a small group of people can accuse the masses of intolerance and yet in reverse, use intolerance to disallow the masses their traditional beliefs.
      Jordan is to be commended for stating his stance in love on these controversial issues.  I hope he realizes that the real mainstream of American culture agrees with him, regardless of what a few may say.
