From: Interfaith Working Group Subject: IWG People Magazine / Janet Folger Date: Thu, 3 Dec 1998 23:21:15 -0500 (EST) December 3, 1998 People Magazine Fax 212-522-0794 Dear Editors: There are two truths which Janet Folger is trying to obscure: one is that plenty of gay and lesbian people live perfectly happy and healthy lives, many of them as members of welcoming religious communities; and the other is that everyone has a constitutionally-guaranteed right to equal treatment under the law, regardless of their sexual orientation, no matter what the origin(s) of sexual orientation may be. Sincerely, Barbara Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators The above letter went out on IWG letterhead listing 16 congregations and organizations and 60 clergy from 15 religious traditions. If you are in the general Philadelphia area and represent a congregation or religious organization or are clergy, let us know if you want to be added - all faiths are welcome. We will also be happy to help start similar organizations in other areas. -- Interfaith Working Group Religious organizations, congregations iwg@libertynet.org and clergy supporting gay rights, http://www.libertynet.org/iwg/ reproductive freedom, and the 215-235-3050 separation of church and state.
