Colleagues,

I am very concerned about the important Civil Rights issue of Gay Marriage.
I am also concerned about whether holding the AALL Annual Meeting in Boston
this Summer would be providing some support to the anti Gay Marriage
position.

I know an unbelievable amount of hard work has gone into this Annual
Meeting. I understand that the timing of the Massachusetts Legislature's
actions are unfortunate.

I also know that I, for one, am hesitant about providing tax dollars to
support such a narrow minded legislature.

I am surprised that there has not been a call to boycott Boston over this
issue.

Am I out of step?

Shouldn't this be a topic for reasoned discussion?

Sincerely,

Brian
