FEEDBACK: 
   * From GrndZeroCO@AOL.COM - GROUND ZERO NEWS  COLORADO SPRINGS CO   -
  Frank Whitworth, Executive Director Ground Zero, The Colorado Springs Gay
and Lesbian Advocacy organization
   To all of our friends on line--The Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph is
promoting copies of their newspaper as a momento of The Amendment 2 decision
because Colorado Springs is the home of Colorado for Family Values and
Amendment 2.
   Please resend this  information to all of your contacts on the Web, as
widely as possible.
   Ground Zero advises you that the Gazette Telegraph, through editorials,
slanted reporting and vicious editorial and cartoon policies, has been one of
the major supporters of Religious Political Extremist attempts to eliminate
gays and lesbians from viable participation in society and government. They
have written several dozen scurillous pro-Amendment 2 editorials and
published at least that many of Chuck Asay's hate filled cartoons, one of
which evoked a major demonstration in front of that paper. In all of these,
they use as the basis of their arguments the myths and lies about gays and
lesbians found in Paul Cameron's trash. 
   Today, as a part of the "memorial issue" they published one more of each,
an editorial and a cartoon.
   I cannot in good conscience let go by their attempts to promote this paper
in the Gay and Lesbian community without stating unequivocably that if you
purchase this right wing extremist dominated publication, you are supporting
the agenda of the likes of Will Perkins and Kevin Tebedo of Colorado for
Family Values and of Dr. James Dobson, Pope of the Evil Political Empire of
Focus on the Family, also in Colorado Springs, the Vatican of Fundamentalism.
   Thank you - Frank Whitworth
