Subject: AALL, Boston, and the Massachusetts State Legislature's action
to ban Gay Marriage.
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
