Everyone who attended the Distinguished Speakers Series lecture by Margaret Cho on Monday night had a good laugh when the absurdities mentioned in James Bascom's letter ("Coming Out Day rally does not belong at PSU," Oct. 20) were read aloud. All who were not able to attend the lecture but read Bascom's letter to the editor should hear what she had to say in response to it. First, Cho pointed out that there is no homosexual agenda, and that homosexuals are simply trying to live their lives and love whoever they choose. Secondly, she noted that nature in itself is abnormality, with many changes and unique differences in all creatures. Lastly, Cho noted that bestiality, child abuse and terrorism are not alternative lifestyles -- they're crimes. Perhaps Bascom should have attended Cho's lecture and been enlightened of his close-minded attitude.
