Date: Mon, 29 May 2000 22:59:28 -0400 From: Interfaith Working Group Subject: IWG Interscope Records letter May 27, 2000 Christina Meloche Marketing Interscope Records 10900 Wilshire Blvd Suite 1230 Los Angeles, CA 90024 Dear Ms. Meloche: Your decision to produce and promote recordings that encourage violence against sexual minorities is one of the most socially irresponsible corporate actions that we have ever heard of. Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people have to put up with enough social abuse without your company increasing their risk of violent assault in order to make money. Please take a minute to visit www.stopthehate.net and ask yourself if you are part of the solution or part of the problem. Sincerely, Barbara Lamond Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators The above letter was sent on IWG letterhead listing 19 congregations and religious organizations and 65 clergy from 16 religious traditions.
