Dear Editors:

Thank you for inclusion of a few pro-gay religious voices 
in your April 8 article about anti-gay attitudes in the South. 
While the article was very thorough, we must not forget that 
religiously motivated anti-gay bigotry is a problem in every 
region of the country, and no state offers full equal rights 
to its gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender citizens.


Sincerely,
Barbara Lamond Purdom
