[NEohioPAL] Brigham Young

[Christopher Fortunato]

The LDS (not Mormon, Mormon was a name given to the LDS church somewhat in derisiveness) church may discriminate, but it is a private organization unlike a government, such as South Africa.  Finally, this country is not South Africa and I am loathe to seeing this great, exceptional country compared to countries that could never compete with it.

The Mormon Church chooses to discriminate.  Boycotting them is similar to the actions against South Africa.

Hi!

   I was saddened by the tone of your recent letter to Neohiopal.  I  know many people who are not comfortable with redefining marriage, but they would never think to boycott artistic performances because the performers might be gay.  I think we need to rethink the approach.  The goal would be to convince people that you have the better idea, not to vilify them and convince others that they are bad people who should be banished from society, and whose artistic contributions, no matter how excellent, should be ignored.  Perhaps that is the way you feel though, an opinion to which you are entitled.  I personally feel that if the goal is to live together peacefully, we need to be willing to have a rational dialog with people  with whom we disagree.

Many Blessings,
Andrea Anelli
