Proposition 8 rules the roost -- again -- in Wednesday’s Letters to the editor.
This time, the focus is last week’s protests against the Mormon Church. Some letter writers, like the Prop. 8 supporters interviewed in this Times story from Tuesday, aren’t impressed. Robert D. Holmes, of Arcadia, writes:
The demonstrations against Proposition 8 make me question my vote against it. The behavior of many supporters of gay marriage is disgraceful and, in my estimation, is likely to work against the progress that has been made in gay rights.
Stephen Newcomer, of West Hollywood, disagrees:
When tax-exempt churches use their pulpits and money to demean and destroy gay relationships and families they should not be surprised when protesters appear on their doorsteps.
The acting administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services apologizes for delays in Medicare reimbursements; a reader muses that we’re all mutts, really; and another reader criticizes Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s frequent absences from L.A.
