Other readers may not have formed an opinion regarding the topic at all. The core reading was written to inform the general public of the double standards Christians have in their opinions related to homosexuals based upon their religious beliefs. This information is important within today's social structure in order to build empathy and tolerance towards other people, even when opinions and beliefs clash and collide. Mr. Cruz writes to inform his audiences thru his faith and his emotions, with his intent to pursue social tolerance towards LGBT. .
