THE CENTER SHIFTS GEARS

February 28, 2013 To the Editor: Thank you for putting forth some rational and well-argued insights (“LGBT Community Center: A Bad Policy Ended Badly,” by Paul Schindler, Feb. 27-Mar. 12).  You have shed much needed “light” rather than “heat” on what quickly became an explosive and divisive issue in our community. I look forward to [...]

AN ACTIVIST’S DEATH

Clarke Cooper and the [...]

THE HAGEL WHAT?

THE HAGEL WHAT?

January 6, 2013 To the Editor: On Hagel’s arrival at the Pentagon, he will be immediately engulfed in the new atmosphere, surrounded by openly gay military no matter where he steps (“The Hagel Flusterchuck,” by Paul Schindler, Jan. 2-15). His positions on Israel and Iran seem moderate compared to pro-Israel and anti-Iran chest-beaters. If he [...]

NO STATE DEPARTMENT APOLOGY

NO STATE DEPARTMENT APOLOGY

January 8, 2013 To the Editor: I was moved to tears by Sam Oglesby’s story (“Lost Down the Memory Hole, Only the Echoes of Kafka Remain,” Jan. 2-15). Thank you for having the honesty to share it, so that there will be a record of your despicable treatment by the US Department of State. Frank [...]

CHRISTINE QUINN’S FORTUNES

CHRISTINE QUINN’S FORTUNES

January 11, 2013 To the Editor: While Christine may look like the frontrunner, there is opposition to her mayoral candidacy, and it’s not based on being a woman or lesbian (“Lucky 13: A Baker’s Dozen Things to Watch For in the Year Ahead,” by Paul Schindler, Jan. 2-15).

THE CENTER’S FACELIFT & ITS BLEMISHES

October 28, 2012 To the Editor: In “Ambitious Facelift Planned for LGBT Community Center” (by Paul Schindler, Oct. 10-23), you report on the Center’s planned $7.5 million renovation and quote executive director Glennda Testone as saying it is part of “a vision for the Center that offers impeccable social services in a setting that everyone [...]

TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND SEX REASSIGNMENT SURGERY

September 19, 2012 To the Editor: I agree with Elizabeth Warren, eliminating “I don’t think” at the beginning of her statement that ended with, “it’s a good use of taxpayer dollars” to fund sex reassignment surgery for an incarcerated murderer in Massachusetts. It’s not. (“Pandering in the Massachusetts Senate Race,” by Paul Schindler, Sep. 12-23). [...]

October 8, 2012 To the Editor: 186 Spring Street, an historic site of great importance to the LGBT community is now being demolished (“Spring Street Gay History Site Denied Landmark Status,” by Duncan Osborne, Aug. 29-Sep. 11).
