I submitted this letter to the San Francisco Chronicle on July 10, 2006

Anyone who visits the Web site for "Campaign for California's Families," www.savecalifornia.com, will see that this is a bigoted, right-wing organization dedicated to denying equal rights and civil liberties, let alone any form of positive visibility, to homosexuals and their families.

So, why do you bother to quote someone representing their organization in your articles about same-sex marriage? Would you quote a KKK member when covering stories about race discrimination, in order to present a so-called "fair and balanced" perspective? Of course not.

Please stop passing off these discriminatory organizations such as Campaign for California's Families, Focus on the Family, etc., as having legitimate "opposing views," or at least when you do quote them, please call them what they are - organizations opposing civil rights for homosexuals and their families.

Thank you,
