"...unconscionable and incomprehensible...exclusionary..." wrote Beach, the committee chairman. Throw in intolerant, puritanical, and traditional, and those about cover the name calling.

Gays need help with economic development in "their" community? Last I saw, they don't live in a ghetto, nor are they economically "disadvantaged".
