SICK LEAVE DEBATE CONTINUES

SICK LEAVE DEBATE CONTINUES

September 5, 2012 To the Editor: Jon Gilbert and Nancy Ploeger’s opposition to paid sick days legislation (“Paid Sick Days Proposal Risks Jobs, Bad for Everyone,” Aug. 29-Sep. 11) relies on exaggerated claims and incomplete facts to argue it will be bad for businesses. The authors cite a business owner with 21 employees who would [...]

POLITICAL CONNECTIONS NOT ENOUGH IN STATE SENATE RACE

August 29, 2012 To the Editor: Regardless of how well placed or connected Brad Hoylman is, I think it is a sad state of affairs that a person connected with big real estate interests will be the one to replace Tom Duane (“Hoylman Longest on Specifics, Repeatedly a Target in Debate With Broad Agreement,” by [...]

PRESERVING GAY HISTORY

August 29, 2012 To the Editor: I definitely agree that gay history and its legacy should be preserved, recognized, and institutionalized (“Spring Street Gay History Site Denied Landmark Status,” by Duncan Osborne, Aug. 29-Sep. 11). I signed the petition to have the Stonewall Inn bar on Christopher Street become a state and federal landmark. At [...]

PETE FISHER’S LEGACY

August 24, 2012 To the Editor: I am sorry I did not know Pete Fisher, but that is happily because our cause grew each year from its start with the early Mattachine Society in 1950 (“Pete Fisher, Pioneering Author of ‘The Gay Mystique,’ Dead at 68,” by Andy Humm, Aug. 15-28). Now there is so [...]

STEVE PIGEON & ROY COHN

August 16, 2012 To the Editor: Our local Roy Cohn in Western New York, Steve Pigeon, is once again putting his evil fingers in the pie (“Tough Keeping Bedfellows Straight in Buffalo Dem, GOP Senate Primaries,” by Andy Humm, Aug. 15-28). I cannot believe the Senate Democrats. Wasn’t the last time Steve Pigeon and the [...]

IN MEMORY OF PETE FISHER

August 16, 2012 To the Editor: Thank you, Andy, for this really moving tribute to Pete (“Pete Fisher, Pioneering Author of ‘The Gay Mystique,’ Dead at 68,” by Andy Humm, Aug. 15-28). It was hard to read it without tearing up, not just for Pete — and I am so saddened by the depression that [...]

SHORTCHANGING STATE SENATE CANDIDATES

August 23, 2012 To the Editor: I do not think that the Gay City News did justice to Brad’s debate win (“Hoylman Longest on Specifics, Repeatedly a Target in Debate With Broad Agreement,” by Duncan Osborne, posted online, Aug. 21). Brad demonstrated a clear understanding of both local community and state issues. He was the first [...]

A FRINGE THANK YOU

August 25, 2012 To the Editor: Thanks so much for what was my favorite review written about my play, “Pieces,” which completed its run at FringeNYC on August 19 (“The Best of Queer Fringe,” by David Kennerley, Aug. 15-28). Your review felt as rough and unsentimental as I hope the play feels to audiences. I [...]

REMEMBERING VIDAL

August 22, 2012 To the Editor: Having lived through the eight years preceding Mr. Vidal’s groundbreaking novel, “The City and The Pillar” (1948), I can attest to the fact that it was a vital and much needed connection to a world that like-thinking people thought they were entirely alone in (“The Legacy of Gore Vidal,” [...]

AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR NEW YORKERS WITH AIDS

July 17, 2012 To the Editor: I wanted to respond to some of the many lies and misleading statements by Mayor Bloomberg’s administration regarding the 30 percent rent cap affordable housing bill for homeless and low-income people living with HIV/AIDS (“AIDS Rent Cap Protections Die in State Senate,” by Paul Schindler, Jul. 4-17). The administration [...]
