There are 2.8 Billion Catholics and Muslims in the world. Both religions express disapproval in one form or another of this topic. It's ridiculous to think that all or even most of these people have a phobia. I am a catholic, and while I have never spoken out against homosexuality, I have never supported it's movement either based on personal beliefs that I am entitled to. In short, I stay out of it altogether. I'm sorry someone was harassing you for personal views and opinions or simply you decision not to take part in an event. It is so disgusting to see the intolerance of people when you don't agree with them. Like those above me though, I would advise not sending out that letter. It will never reach anyone and will only start heated arguments/conflict. You simply have to ignore all the social justice warriors. Their hatred towards anyone against their views will come back to haunt them in the end, assuming you believe in religion/karma/whatever. Don't be afraid to have your own opinion. Don't allow these people to bully you into siding with them. However, don't bother trying to debate or discuss these topics with them because it will simply lead to a shouting match every time. It's sad to see what debates/arguments have come to in the modern world; just a bunch of children yelling at each other, unable to respect each others' beliefs, regardless of which side they are on.

You phrase that whole thing very well. Political correctness will inevitably cause more conflict than it aims to prevent, by its inherent nature. It's one of the great issues of the 21st century, in my opinion, one that needs to be resolved sooner rather than later before it's consequences screw everyone over.
Even if I scrap the letter idea, I am still of the intense opinion that this Day of Silence should not be allowed in public schools... unfortunately it looks as if advocacy of that idea is only going to get me labeled and solve nothing, which is ****ed up lol...
