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

Brian,

You will not find any earthly place where some AALL member would not have
one issue or another. However, should we be in the proximity of an
appropriate asteroid this summer, I hope that the AALL membership would
consider it--and populate it.

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
