Do You Support Gays?

Question:

i love alice books. i only read 2 but they were good. i was wondering, do you support gays? because in your book alice sure did. that one of the few things i didnt like about your book.

Phyllis replied:

I support gays and lesbians just as surely as I support heterosexual couples.  I wonder if those who don’t accept sexualities different from their own ever wonder what it would be like to be thrust into a world where they were told they should only love someone of their own sex.  How unnatural that would feel.   Gays and lesbians feel much the same about loving those of the opposite sex.  I don’t believe gays “choose” their lifestyle, and I believe it’s unacceptable to tell them they have to live a sexless life just because they don’t have heterosexual feelings.
