To the editor:
Thank you for publishing the story headlined “gay? fine by me” in the March 29 edition.
However, I am troubled about a quote — “ There is nothing wrong with promoting conversations about alternative lifestyles in public places” — attributed to Shenna Bellows, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine.
Being gay — or black or Indian — or whatever is not a lifestyle! It is genetically predetermined.
And thank you, too, to the Brunswick High School students for their leadership.
Maria Holt,
