An UPDATE...

[Fearless]

A couple of weeks back an editorial had been published in the UMass - Amherst newspaper that I had posted here in the GLBT Forum. It was entitled "Militant gay-rights activists strike out". Obviously it was a disgusting piece of virulent hate and I was hoping to get some response back to the newspaper for their audacity at printing such hate speech.

I figured that everyone would care to know that the paper has now posted a few letters to the editor including one from a DU poster (sniffa). Below I've linked the response as it appeared in the paper as well as a second one which was also of value.


Sniffa's:

1. I cannot believe that crap managed to be published.

As a straight man, I find it appalling that the editor of that page allowed such already-debunked drivel into publication.

2. Well, the rumor is that the paper went bankrupt two years ago...

And is now a subsidiary of News Corp. Just a rumor, but the Op-Ed choices in the past couple of months are increasingly supporting that.

3. Aw, my reply to David Hunt was removed

Can't say "fuck off and die in a fire" over there.
