Date: Mon, 16 Oct 1995 00:45:55 -0400 (EDT) From: Chris Purdom Subject: IWG Daily News Amendment 2 letter The following has gone out on IWG letterhead (2 congregations, 4 religious organizations and 14 clergy): October 15, 1995 Editors The Philadelphia Daily News PO Box 7788 Phila., PA 19101 Dear Editors: Thank you for reporting on the October 10 Gay and Lesbian Task Force press conference about the Supreme Court's hearing of Colorado's Amendment 2. A story with such importance for minority rights and municipal self-rule deserved front page coverage from the Daily News, but it was heartening to see that the extensive photo caption that served as a story mentioned the participation of clergy in the press conference. Contrary to the message spread by Amendment 2's supporters, many religious people support equal rights for sexual minorities. Sincerely, Barbara Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators
