FIRST, Len Rushton (Letters, February 11) had a go at me, and now a Mr B Maguire (Letters, February 17).

I'd like a final word on this whole issue of Rev Kevin Logan's attack on the homosexual community.

Don't take me to task, Mr Maguire - I never once used the word "gay"; that was the Rev Kev.

Please don't quote the good book to me either - you are preaching to the initiated.

I could really get my teeth into this issue but must now call truce. Anyone who now brings sodomy into this altercation is beneath contempt.

This is nothing more than sheer narrow-mindedness. Times have changed since the Bible first saw light of day, and we should at least try to.

CHRISTINE WILKIN-WYKE, New Lane, Oswaldtwistle.
