The messy scrawl of writing, punctuated by different coloured words or targeted faces in newspaper clippings, is not hard to distinguish.
The message is clear: “watch your back,” “death to homosexuals,” and “death to Darren Lund.”
It is a message Lund, an education professor at the University of Calgary, doesn’t enjoy receiving in the mail.
And the letters are posted from Cochrane, Alberta.
Lund’s name first made headlines in 2002 when Rev. Stephen Boissoin wrote a letter to the editor of the Red Deer Advocate newspaper that said gay people are just “as immoral as the pedophiles, drug dealers and pimps that plague our communities.”
Boissoin went on to say that society should rid them of their wickedness by any steps necessary.
“This is what you say when you want to make people afraid and hateful,” Lund said .
