Dear Editor:
RE: ‘Hard-won rights,’ July 13.
Allan Berry thinks that my previous letter (‘Axe Pride, prevent hate?’ [June 29]), proffered a “simplistic solution” to the problem of increased hatred and intolerance in the schools during Pride month.
Perhaps that is because the editor edited out a significant portion of the letter I submitted, which I believe was vital to supporting my argument.
Berry is correct that the LGBTQ+ community has achieved many hard-won rights, while activists supported by the mainstream media continue to push the envelope. However, some of those rights have been detrimental to other rights, such as parental rights and our fundamental right to freedom of expression and freedom of religion.
