Editor, I take great exception to the homophobia expressed in a recent letter to the Daily Lobo, "A society of Schraders would lack government, infrastructure," on Nov. 13 by UNM student Andres Saenz.

Editor, I was appalled to read the column titled "Abortion a modern-day injustice" in Monday's Daily Lobo not only for its staunch hypocrisy but its clever misuse of "the facts."
