Letter to the editor

This guy named Jordan Lorence, an attorney for an organization that opposes same-sex marriage wrote a commentary titled "Flawed reasoning on same-sex unions. I won't post it here but you might find it on the internet if you google him. Anyway, when I read it in my local newspaper, it pissed me off enough that I wrote a letter to the editor--my first ever.

My problem, it's too long. The paper only accept 200 words or less. I've edited it down to 274, but I'm having trouble cutting more. Help?

Johnny Weir

Go read this about Johnny Weir, the Aziraphale of the skating world. (So obviously "gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide", but officially asexual.)
