[Winona Online Democracy]
Hello Dean Lanz and Winona Online Democracy,
I also recieved the same unsigned "comic book" in the mail.
I too wish the person would have signed their name so we could continue
talking.

>>Not to re-open old wounds, but i just wanted to share a rather disturbing
>>piece of mail (snail mail) i received recently.
>>In an envelope addressed to me with no return address and postmarked in
>>Rochester (all Winona mail goes through the Rochester office to be
>>postmarked,
>>doesn't it?) was a "comic book" (for lack of a better definition) entitled
>>"Sin City". Poorly written and even more poorly illustrated this "comic
>>book: consisted of an attack on homosexuality and gay rights from an
>>extreme conservative Xian point of view.
>>Even though a vast majority of the Xian world no longer holds this
>>antiquated view of homosexuality, what bothered me more than the message
>>was the fact that whoever sent it was apparently in such a hurry to save my
>>soul that they forgot to put their return address on the envelope.
>>Any coward can anonymously mail a religious track to someone they disagree
>>with. At least the people who have engaged in the discussion surrounding
>>the United
>>Way's courageous decision here on onlinedemocarcy have had the courage to
>>sign their names. I doubt if anyone on onlinedemocarcy sent that track to
>>me, but if
>>anyone who reads this is the culprit know that sending an anonymous
>>anti-gay religious track on this issue is only going to further my
>>commitment to eradicating the
>>prejudice and bigotry felt by gay and lesbian members of our society.
