Springfield residents need to voice their opinion at the next public hearing, to be held Nov. 6 at 8 p.m. Kim Gwozdz, East Springfield Reasonable people oppose gay agenda During the last 40 years, it has become fashionable in America to denounce those who oppose any portion of the gay rights agenda as bigots or homophobes. Just ask singer Anita Bryant or Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Both have had to endure death threats, slander and censorship merely for expressing their opinion. This kind of intolerance is wrong. There are many issues raised under the banner of gay rights that honorable people feel they cannot support and this does not make them bigots.
Examples are abundant.
This year the Supreme Court ruled that the Boy Scouts could not be required to accept gay scoutmasters. In addition, polls show most Americans oppose legalizing gay marriage. Nobody listened and along came Adolf Hitler. Recently at our Oneonta Veterans' Club, you have been stealing our flags. You've taken our American Legion and VFW flags, our MIA banners and now our American flag.
