HBA honors Nancy – but why? Dear Mr. Younger, I am writing you out of concern and disgust over the flag at Normal Street flying at half-staff this week. I came across your email from the Hillcrest Business Association’s (HBA)Web site. If this is not a matter that you are involved with, if you would…
Letters Gay, GOP Dear Editor, I thought, when I came out in 2002 at 36 years old, I had made it past the judgment. The truth is, unless you follow a certain pattern in the LGBT community, it will be the community that judges you. We say we seek tolerance and acceptance, but the truth…
The Pope’s messages are more important than his religion Dear Editor, This letter is addressed to San Diego LGBT Weekly publisher Stampp Corbin. So I can better understand from where you’re coming, please indulge me and tell me what your religious preference is? Obviously you’re not Catholic, so are you a Protestant or an atheist?…
New GOP embraces gays Dear Editor: As a dedicated reader of GLBT online newspapers, including yours, I’m amazed by how endlessly hateful and intolerant the reporting is on the Republican Party. There is a new day for gay people in the GOP. Consider this: The Republican National Committee has removed all anti-gay planks from their…
Letters Thanks for having my back Dear Editor, Thanks for your publisher’s editorial on diversity at San Diego Pride (issue 179, Aug. 6).

Letters You helped me make up my mind Dear Editor, I had long been a proponent of marriage equality on general grounds but had been somewhat ambivalent on the matter of civil partnerships. Was a civil partnership “close enough” to actual marriage? Should same-sex couples be satisfied with that? A quote attributed to Stampp Corbin…
letters San Diego needs to talk about HIV not remember AIDS Dear Editor, While I applaud the people behind the San Diego AIDS Memorial for taking the leadership in such a meaningful endeavor, I do have to question the timing of it. Memorials are something that we build like the World War II Memorial or…
A thank you to Stampp Corbin Dear Editor, This is just a personal expression of appreciation for your editorial “I Can’t Breathe” (San Diego LGBT Weekly, Issue 162). As an eighty-one-year old activist, who has worked on race/class/gender/LGBT issues for fifty years and who finds that (despite spurts like Brown vs. Board of Education and gay…
