History Center: Thanks for standing up for all SLO County citizens

Open letter to the SLO History Center’s Board of Directors:

Please don’t waste another minute rethinking your decision to fly the gay pride flag at the History Center in SLO. The limited rhetoric from a few (very few) people in SLO County who were disappointed is beyond ridiculous.

Thank you for standing up for ALL citizens of SLO County and being supportive of Pride in the Plaza. The gay community feels marginalized enough, but with you and other people supporting them, hopefully someday they won’t.

This news cycle will soon pass and no additional brain power should be wasted on such an inane complaint.

Kristen Barneich, Arroyo Grande
