Unimpressed.The quotes from Mark Leno in support of Nancy Pelosi in Emily Hefts article ["Pelosi and the Gays," December 19] prove how absent The Advocate's credibility is. I have lived in San Francisco for over 20 years and have heard both Pelosi and Leno staunchly defend Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and Gray Davis and other political Democrats when the public platform of these elected officials was to marginalize mar·gin·al·ize tr.v. mar·gin·al·ized, mar·gin·al·iz·ing, mar·gin·al·iz·es To relegate or confine to a lower or outer limit or edge, as of social standing.

If The Advocate does not get it, let me spell it out This article or section contains unconfirmed rumors and/or speculation. Information must be and based on . Please remove rumors and speculation and discussion from the article. for you: Pelosi's and Leno's top priorities are their own self-importance, their paychecks, and the perpetuation of their dogmatic party. Sexual-minority American citizens' equality and rights are not on the radar. Young Americans are also dying because they have been manipulated into defending Pelosi-Leno cowardice. Republicans, can you hear that? STEVE CAMPBELL San Francisco, Calif. |
