Hooray – the latest issues of my college alumni magazine includes a slew of letters in response to a bigoted anti-gay letter that appeared in the previous issue. They printed an excerpt from my letter – the least inflammatory paragraph, of course.
It’s nice to know that so many UVA alumni, gay and straight, are open-minded and on the right side of history.
Mazel Tov on having your reply to the bigoted letter printed in the alumni newsletter. I just had a similar letter to the editor printed in the Northern California Jewish newspaper the challenges the homophobic letter they printed. (see my blog.) I believe it is important to always respond to this kind of attack.
