Date: Wed, 12 Jul 1995 14:41:16 -0400 (EDT) From: David Casti Subject: ACTION ALERT: Letters of support needed in Florida Submitted by: Dreamcachr@aol.com my name is sammi, and i live in ocala, florida. it is a small town but there is upheaval on the gay issue...many older folks here, and then the young ones moving in to seek new opportunity in this growing town. on sun july 2nd, the local paper, the Star Banner, released a story from the wire they got in Seattle about a couple (gay men) raising adopted kids. This is the 2nd story in a positive light for this tiny paper, and a ray of hope. but everyone is writing in to boycott the paper and advertisers! There is very little supportive letters besides mine...it is a mess. can we get people to write to the paper and let them know there are supporters for these articles? If they think that no one wants to hear it, they will discontinue their support of our community. the article title was "Gay dads seek normal life with their adopted children" the paper is the Star Banner from Ocala Florida the address is Editor, PO box 490, Ocala, Florida and the fax is 904-867-4126 thank you for your time..... sammi w. ocala florida dreamcachr@aol.com
