Editor,
Responding to recent letter writer Ramon Vera, "Get facts straight" in the Aug. 17 Daily Journal, it is a fact that no person has a "right" to do what it takes two persons to do (it takes two to tango, remember).

Responding to recent letter writer Ramon Vera, "Get facts straight" in the Aug. 17 Daily Journal, it is a fact that no person has a "right" to do what it takes two persons to do (it takes two to tango, remember).
Marry whom one chooses? Fact: marriage exists only when two persons freely choose each other.
Fact: Every adult today has the equal right and opportunity to marry a person of opposite gender.
Fact: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights says all "human beings" are entitled to equality "without distinction of any kind."
Fact: partnerships, couples, unions of persons, are not themselves human - and, accordingly, have no such entitlement. Attributing personhood to any invented social institution is a blatant falsity.
Fact: Children, being no less human than adults, are equal in their membership in the world community of humanhood.
Opinion: Gay parenthood - the parent-child relationship - cannot be equated with the blood-linked parent-child relationship.
