What a wonderful article! I really enjoyed the fact that you listed all of the LBGT-friendly spiritual organizations in the area; thank you very much for that "Intersection of Identities" (SN 5/17). It is unfortunate that many LBGT people experience such spiritual conflict and personal insecurities because they feel damned, isolated and segregated by the one thing our society has taught us to hold onto.

With many of our economically challenged citizens being told to get by without previous state financial assistance for health and hope, I find it saddening that our state government cannot cut illegal political jobs that have been on the state payroll for years. Why has this dirty little secret not been exposed the way it has been in Wisconsin?
I read the editorial "Editing art" (SN 4/29). What it lacked in relevance, it made up for with muddled thought. As a father of four, I am in favor of any technology that assists in limiting access to what I feel are objectionable parts of a movie.
I wish to thank President Lou Anna K. Simon, provost John Hudzik and the MSU Board of Trustees for their support of the revised copyright policy that was approved unanimously by the board at their May 6 meeting.
