Some of the Bay Windows Editorial is comical. Here
are sound bites from the editorial with replies by
Sarah McVay Pawlick, President of Mass. Citizens for
Marriage.
Bay Windows: The Right chose Massachusetts because
if they can win here, they can win anywhere: In their
eyes we are the prize.
Pawlick: The truth is we chose Massachusetts because
we live here. Our children and our grandchildren live
here. The opposition has enormous help from national,
liberal organizations, which are pouring in money
and resources. We don't.
Bay Windows: They are zealots. They hate us with
a passion.
Pawlick: The people at Bay Windows have known us since
1999. They know we hate no one.
Bay Windows: They view us as a good way to raise
money.
Pawlick: This is comical. This is a good way to lose
money. They complain in their article about the difficulties
of raising money.
Bay Windows: A major defeat for the radical right.
Pawlick: They know we are not the radical right. We
are part of the Greatest Generation which survived
the depression, served in World War II and Korea.
We love our country. We hate to see a further erosion
of the traditional family and the free-fall in our
society of sexual morality.
Sad
Pawlick: Unlike reporters from the Boston Globe or
other media, we have always trusted reporters from
Bay Windows because they report what we say accurately
and completely. They do not play games with what we
say. Although we disagree on most issues, we respect
each other and agree to disagree. We received a call
the other day from Scott Giordano who used to report
for Bay Windows and is now with the Blade in Washington.
Although very busy, we returned his call right away.
That is why we are sad to see an Editorial such as
this which has many inaccuracies in it.
