WITH RESPECT to Monday's editorial, 'Golding and Simpson Miller failed to lead', I find your conclusion a wholly ridiculous and disingenuous position to take.

The Charter of Rights, and any other law, must reflect the common or most common position of the people in whose interest it is being enacted. There is nothing in the charter that gives anyone the right to abuse or discriminate against someone because of their sexual orientation.

What does the writer of the editorial expect? That the norms and values of the majority should take second place to those of a minority because the latter have access to media, influence and the proverbial 'commanding heights of the economy'?

I am, etc.,
