Boston Herald Agrees — It’s ‘Intimidation’

September 14, 2005 by admin

Wow…. who’d have thought that a newspaper in Boston would ever agree with me on a gay rights issue?
Intimidation On The Web – Boston Herald Editorial

You’d think that people who have in their lives experienced a certain level of discrimination might be just a little sensitive to the feelings of others. But that’s apparently too much to ask of Tom Lang and his spouse Alex Westerhoff, who have launched knowthyneighbor.org.
The aim here is clearly to intimidate. It is also an open invitation to harass those who sign on to the measure. It’s rather like earlier efforts by ardent anti-abortion groups who posted the names of doctors who performed abortions on their Web sites. At least one of those doctors ended up dead.
Lang and Westerhoff are engaging in an ugly, ugly bit of business that can only lose them the support of Massachusetts voters who might otherwise be content to live and let live.
