Gay Pride Festival in Centennial Park
Bravo to Santa Ana City Council members Pat McGuigan, Dan Griset and Mayor Dan Young for not caving in to fundamentalist fanatic the Rev. Lou Sheldon’s pressure over the Gay Pride Festival scheduled in Santa Ana’s Centennial Park.
Ironically, Sheldon doesn’t live in Santa Ana but seems to glow in the media notoriety given to this city’s issues. As a concerned resident, I am not really interested in Centennial Park tenants, but I am interested in ignoring self-aggrandizement by a small minority of non-residents interfering in our city.
One begins to reaffirm even more that a governmental decision made hundreds of years ago by our ancestors was indeed a correct one--keeping religion separate from state.
Thanks for upholding the Constitution of the United States, Santa Ana; your courage makes you stand out among elected officials.
