Letters to the editor
Eyman’s latest effort should be rejected
If you think it is all right to deny someone a job because of sexual orientation, don’t bother to read this letter. BUT if you are not sure, please read on.
You do not have to like or approve of those of us who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. But we are people too. We need jobs so that we can feed ourselves and our families. We need homes in which to live. We need the ability to obtain credit and to insure ourselves — in other words, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Recently, the Legislature amended the anti-discrimination law to guarantee us those rights — the same rights that all of you possess.
Now Tim Eyman and his supporters are trying to get a referendum/initiative on the November ballot to overturn the Legislature’s action.
However people may feel about GLBT people, this is not a fascist state where people who are different are demonized.
I believe that people are inherently fair and will recognize that such a referendum/initiative is not fair or right.
I hope that people will not sign the petitions to get either on the ballot.
If either qualifies for the ballot, I urge voters to vote against them and affirm that Washingtonians believe in equal rights for all and not just for some.

Pastor takes stand for gay nuptials

ASHEVILLE — An Asheville pastor took a stand for gay marriage Sunday
by announcing he would no longer perform civil marriages for the state.
The Rev. Joe Hoffman, pastor of First Congregational United Church of
Christ in Asheville, made the announcement in his Sunday morning
sermon in an effort to treat his gay and lesbian parishioners the same
as heterosexuals — a move that he believes is a first in this area.
"When I sign that piece of paper for marriage, as an agent of the
state, I give (heterosexual couples) about 1,100 rights and privileges
that gay and lesbian couples do not get," Hoffman said. "I believe in
equal rights for all people. As a minister, I was participating in a
system that was unjust."
Last year, the million-strong national church became the first major
U.S. Christian denomination to come out in support of gay marriage.
The UCC has supported gay rights since the 1970s, when the church
ordained its first gay minister.
Hoffman said he made the decision on a personal level and says he is
not speaking for his church, made up of more than 200 members.
"I hope it will prompt people to think," Hoffman said. "I hope they
will question what this is all about. I think for heterosexuals, it
will be a small inconvenience to have a religious ceremony and then
get it legalized. But I hope it calls attention to the great injustice
that people who are gay and lesbian live with every day."
Kathryn Cartledge, a member of the First Congregational church who
says she was denied a chaplain job with the state for being a lesbian,
believes it should be her right to marry her partner of 23 years.
Hoffman's decision gives her a glimmer of hope.
"He's willing to stand up and do what he can do," she said. "I think
that's where I find hope."
The bold statement should bring the issue of gay rights — already
present and growing in Asheville — into the spotlight, said Melissa
Burchard, an associate professor of philosophy at UNC Asheville.
"I think that it is very brave," said Burchard, who specializes in
social and political philosophies.
"It will raise visibility," she said. "It won't necessarily fix
things, but it will make where people can't avoid it. Most people
would like to sweep it under the rug and make it go away. But this
kind of civil disobedience forces people to see that there is an issue
to be taken seriously here."Wednesday February 22, 2006 - 09:08am (CST) Permanent Link | 0 Comments - Entry for February 21, 2006
