GLBT Students and Religious Schools

A local friend and fellow member of PFLAG just fowarded this letter to me.

I signed all four letters they requested and am passing it on for your information. The link will take you to the Heartstrong Site and the link to the letter writing campaign is toward the top, the first item on the list (in small, light print).

Personal: Still no news from Carol's doctors. Waiting and hoping. Thanks for your messages. They mean so much.

Subject: Fw: [Pflag] Anti-Prejudice Letter Writing Campaign/We Need PFLAGER'SSupport!

Hello PFLAGers,

This is one of those rare occasions for which I send an electronic communication other than the newsletter to you.

I think this issue is of sufficient import to send Marc's email to you and ask that you participate in the letter-writing campaign for Marc if you feel so compelled.

I have highlighted in this color the text that emphasizes the reason for my email to you.

Thanks for your attention,

Hi Everyone...

Hopefully everyone is enjoying their weekend. We are traveling from New

Jersey up to Martha's Vineyard to speak at a community meeting with PFLAG,

a UCC church and other groups. We are excited about the new oppoortunity

to share about our work.

We have had a number of students in Massachusetts fall victim to anti-GLBT

activism by their religious schools. Pretty much every denomination of

religious schools is representated in MA. Seventh-day Adventist,

Catholic, Nazarene, Baptist and many more.

ALSO...

We are now ready to commence our letter writing campaign. You can begin

the process by clicking here http://www.heartstrong.org/ Right under the

NEWS section is a 'Letter Writing Campaign' link. Click on it and you

will be walked through four different letters.

This is a great opportunity for everyone to help us in raising awareness

about the attempted censorship by the Diocese of Camden, NJ, the Knights

of Columbus and Father Pat Lavin. There is also a letter of support for

the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of South Jersey Shore for their

brave fight against this prejudice.

WE NEED EVERYONE TO SIGN THESE LETTERS!!! I cannot stress enough how much

we need everyone's participation. It takes less than three minutes to

click through, sign and submit all four letters. I hope everyone reading

this will do it.

I would like to have 1000 copies of each letter signed by Tuesday evening,

December 5. Please help us with this project!

Thanks so much

Marc Adams
