Letter to the Editor: Shocked at the hate

To the Editor:

I am horrified by the hate and falsehoods contained in the letter entitled, “The Upside Down Flag” published in the November 14 edition of The Standard. The only thing worse than espousing such blatant racism and anti-gay rhetoric is the fact that it is done in the name of religion. This hate speech has no place in the media. I am shocked and deeply saddened that you would choose to publish it.

While representing a diversity of opinions is good, printing such overt and horrifying hate is inexcusable. Mr. Editor, shame on you for giving this unmitigated hate a voice.
