I'm concerned that a homophobic letter to the editor would be considered for publishing. I am aware that opinions expressed by readers don't reflect the opinions of the publication, but the letter you published by a David Whalen is clearly hurtful to a portion of the community, and was published in bad taste, in my opinion. This person is clearly "straight", concerned about a flag with gay connotation being flown at the school. I am straight as well, but where he and I differ is in the area of respect for others. His final sentence speaks volumes: "Also if you think this is right then you are on the wrong side of history."
I believe this letter was published in violation of your editorial criteria #4, re: polarizing the community.
