We in Vermont don't seem to be talking very much about the Millennium March on Washington. Given the controversy and strong opinions surrounding the event, it is difficult for someone just coming into it to get to the facts and form an opinion of her own. In an effort to start a local discussion, this issue of OITM offers you some groundwork.
On these pages you will find press releases from inside sources on both sides of the issue. First is the announcement of the March date from the organizers themselves, then the Call for an Open Process from the Ad Hoc Committee of the same name. Next we have a press release from the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches outlining their continued support of the March. Finally, there is a letter from the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Executive Director, Kerry Lobel in which she resigns from her position on the board of directors for the March. We urge readers to consider the source in all of these pieces and realize that this is just the tip of the ice berg. In future issues, we'll pursue the topic further and we welcome input from you.
