COMMENTARY

LETTER: The real tragedy? You using religion as an excuse to discriminate

Derek Kim is just one man. I’m sure he’s taken his fair share of personal attacks and insults in the past week. I ask that while debating with him, you stick to the point and are kind. Personal attacks don’t make for a stronger argument. He spoke for himself and for the others who represent that viewpoint. Those people break my heart. I pray that they’ll see just how wrong they are.
