Editors --
The Friday, February 8, 1974 article, "Gays protest pamphlet" was quite interesting.
I have some additions and comments about the article. Protesters also alleged some of thee pamphlets defamed women, which sparked the comment by a member of the Women's Coalition quoted in paragraph six.
I participated in the protest because, after having read many of the cartoon pamphlets, I got the impression that the material was biased, over generalized and discriminatory. In general, the pamphlets were not contributing to world unity and brother-sisterhood.
The pamphlets did contain quotes from the Bible -- out of context for the most part. In rebuttal to ISU Christian Fellowship quotations, the GPLA had a sign bearing a quote from the Bible in favor of homosexuality.
Was the protest justified? By me, yes.
