Summary:
This article begins by questioning if the United Way would financially support organizations that discriminate
against racial minorites, and begs the question of why they should be expected to support organizations that discriminate
based on sexuality.
After separating the issues of homosexuality from pedophilia, it goes on to inform the reader that homosexuality
is not a choice - it is genetic.
Several United Way groups in the Fox Valley and also in Menomonie have said they will not condone such discrimination.
