Debating censorship.The May 11 issue of The Advocate was one of your best. I especially liked the articles about censorship ["The Big Chill"], gay marriage in Canada The Canadian federal government has exclusive authority governing marriage and divorce in Canada under section 91(26) of the Constitution of Canada [1]. However section 92(12) of the Constitution gives the provinces the power to pass laws regulating the solemnization of , closeted clos·et·ed adj. Being In a state of secrecy or cautious privacy. conservatives, and successful out gay employees. Allen Young, Royalston, Mass. My partner and I do not agree with your article on censorship. We share parenting responsibilities for three wonderful children. We do not appreciate the gradual increase of vulgar language and violence in the media today. If we continue to increase our acceptance and "intake" of violent and crass behavior, we increase the statistics of violent behavior in our nation. Our children are overloaded with violent and crazy movies, TV shows, games, etc. Bringing back some censorship will not affect the gay rights movement! It will make it possible once again to turn on the television or radio without having to cover the ears of our kids. Molli Paige and Lisa Reining Portland, Ore. The far-right group Oklahomans for Children and Families has harassed libraries, bookstores, GLBT GLBT Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered businesses, and the local PBS PBS in full Public Broadcasting Service Private, nonprofit U.S. corporation of public television stations. PBS provides its member stations, which are supported by public funds and private contributions rather than by commercials, with educational, cultural, station for ages. Its members brag about running an Oklahoma City Oklahoma City (1990 pop. 444,719), state capital, and seat of Oklahoma co., central Okla., on the North Canadian River; inc. 1890. The state's largest city, it is an important livestock market, a wholesale, distribution, industrial, and financial center, and a farm comics shop out of business. OCAF OCAF Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Florida has distorted biblical verses to call for the death penalty for gays. I am a proud pro-choice, pro-gay rights, pro-animal rights vegetarian Christian who detests OCAF's hate-filled messages. Thank you for doing a cover story on "the return of censorship."
