Letter: Contra Costa cities show we are greater than hate
Contra Costa cities showwe are greater than hate
The National Organization for Women stands with the city of Walnut Creek’s decision to raise the Pride Flag this June.
The letter from our neighbor Dane Hansen, “Walnut Creek is known for family values, not this” (Letter to the editor, May 22), shows that prejudice still exists in our community. Our city leaders are obligated to take a stance against it.
We believe in a community that supports people of all kinds, colors and creeds, including our LGBTQ brothers and sisters. We must continue to speak out against intolerance.
We stand with Walnut Creek, Concord, Pleasant Hill and all cities in Contra Costa County who are openly supporting the LGBTQ community this June. Thank you for showing our citizens that we are greater than hate and that fear-based rhetoric has no place in our communities.
