A few days later someone wrote this (not very nice) letter to the paper:
Pandering to the gay lifestyleFederal Way letters
I have lived in Federal Way for over 30 years and raised a family here. One of the main reasons I chose Federal Way over a larger city like Seattle was precisely because Federal Way did not pander to gays and their perverted lifestyle with gay bathhouses, gay bars and dykes on bikes parades.
For Tyler Young (opinion, July 10) to demand part of the city's income be spent on gays so he can have a date in Federal Way rather than going all the way to Seattle is nonsense. Gays taking over the library so they can celebrate their perverted lifestyle is beyond nonsense. Will they be trying to recruit youth using the library to their perversion?
Instead of printing this person's letter in the paper, you would have done more for the community to advise him to move to Seattle where he could pursue his quest for "dates" with gay abandon. I'll even buy him a bike he can ride in the parade. Oh, and a dress too if he wants to play dress up with his steam bath buddies. Just get out of Federal Way and don't come back.
T. J. Brown, Federal Way
Was devasted when I read that vile letter.. Sincerely hope that none of T.J.Brown never has a family ever come out to face his neandertal,homophobic,redneck,and judgemental wrath.
ReplyDeleteMr.Brown evidently has issues o his own.. I also live in Federal Way for over 22 years..and it saddens met that there are no gay establishments in a city the size of Federal Way..My partner and most others of "us" live quiet lives, have jobs, pay our taxes-yes even Federal Way's local taxes -and are NOT the sterotypes that he has in his twisted and little mind.. Look forward to the Library meeting... O'Neal Dean - Federal Way..
