This LTTE in today's Strib should make the antigay marriage crowd nuts
and it doesn't hurt that it's from a minister.

No damage observed

A gay couple from my hometown, population approximately 2,500, were married in Massachusetts a while ago. They were made famous by coverage in the Star Tribune, among other places. Since they came home, absolutely nothing has happened to the marriages of the straight people in our community. Furthermore, young straight couples continue to fall in love! I myself have consecrated several straight marriages since that gay marriage happened.

I don't know what world those opposed to gay marriage are living in, but here in the real-world town of Glenwood, it's obvious that straight marriage has not been damaged in the least by gay marriage.

4. Did you see all the Kersten letters today?
http://www.startribune.com/563/story/284052.html

My favorite is "Plenty to be scared of"

"I am scared of people who don't care who gets hurt as long as their side wins. I am scared of writers who bury our consciences in heaps of argument. I am scared of Katherine Kersten."

The Readers Rep column yesterday was devoted to the controversy over the Metro columnists.
The Strib considers it a "good" thing that they generate so much controversy.
Bullshit, you look at all the editorial page real estate devoted twice weekly to refuting that idiot Kersten's nonsense compared to one or two every few months bitching about Coleman.

I like reading letters that take that wench to task but I sure would like to talk about other things more honestly.

5. That was a great letter.
The Strib must have thought so too as they don't usually print such long ones.
