Letters In Response to Jess Durfee’s letter and Stampp Corbin’s editorial (LGBT Weekly March 27, issue 143) Dear Editor, Even gay and lesbian history repeats itself. In 1938 feminist/lesbian Gertrude Stein nominated Adolf Hitler for a Nobel Peace Prize. So I think we shouldn’t be too tough on Bonnie Dumanis for supporting Mr. Dronenburg. We…
In response to “Tiring of Nicole’s abrasive views” (LGBT Weekly March 13, issue 142) Dear Editor, I have always seen Nicole to be an exceptionally talented social person and many a person should learn how you should always have something positive to say/observe about someone in public. Hint. I had the pleasure of serving with…
Disappointment and dissatisfaction at new “Fat Tuesday” Dear Editor, As a person who has attended Hillcrest Mardi Gras for many years, I cannot express how disappointed I was with the new “Fat Tuesday.” Billed as being bigger and better than ever, it was anything but what was marketed. I purchased a VIP ticket for $75;…
Harvey Milk’s what? Dear Editor, I must have been hungry today. First, I stopped by the Ronald Reagan drive-thru for a quick bite. Later on, I found myself at the Martin Luther King donut shop for a coffee and snack. Since we have an early morning meeting tomorrow, I headed to the John F. Kennedy…

Nonprofits and how they should perform Dear Editor, Countrywide, nonprofits do wonderful work for their communities, but sometimes the organization is strictly run for personal gain or ego. Such organizations must be looked at for their performance and must be transparent. There is no place in the not for profit organizations for stonewalling, unclear financials…
Radio show trans remark was ‘offensive’ Dear Editor, In San Diego, there is a radio program on Star 100.7 called “The DSC” show, short for the Dave, Shelley and Chainsaw show. They are usually pretty open minded and fair when talking about LGBT issues. This morning (Feb 20), during the news segment at 7:45, they…
Letters Should Auntie Helen’s and Being Alive be taken over by The Center? Dear Editor, I have been reading about the financial woes of Auntie Helen’s and Bring Alive. It may be a good idea for both agencies to be taken over by The Center. Being Alive does case management. Why couldn’t this be done…
Re: Todd Gloria, 3rd District councilman Dear Editor, My experience with Todd Gloria and his organization is completely opposite of Mr. Nelson’s experience. He holds meetings with his constituents at various locations in District 3 on a regular basis; he or his staff have always responded to my communications rapidly and professionally, in many cases…
Presidential terms compared Dear Editor, I want to make two points about the presidential election. Firstly, during Bill Clinton’s eight years, my net worth went up 87.79 percent; under George W. Bush’s eight years, it went down 0.41 percent; and so far under Barack Obama, it has gone up 39.56 percent. At this pace, it…
