- Write to the mayor again and let him know that negative attitudes
- towards gays and lesbians are in part responsible for over 1,300
- teen and young adult suicides each year, and that 250,000 to 500,000
- gay youths are thrown out of their traditional family home or feel
- that they have to escape its abuse each year. Point out that the
- Catholic Church says that one should not discriminate against the
- homosexual. Point out that most of the other (liberal) churches
- recognize that the homosexual union is just as loving and caring and
- fullfilling as the heterosexual ones.
-
- If the mayor still refuses to reply AND (big AND) if you or someone is
- brave enough, confront him at the city council meeting... or at least
- make a phone appointment or in-person appointment to talk to him. If
- he still is not accessible at your level of comfort, then write a
- letter to the editor.
