[Durham INC] 'Anti-Gay' is offensive language

[Erin Kennedy]

Christine, FYI:  the INC is a coalition of Durham's neighborhood
associations (some of them have homeowner restrictions, some do not).  We've
already spent some time debating whether or not INC should be involved in
this issue at all, and (I believe) have come to a decision, ending that
debate.

I think that perhaps it might be time to take discussions (other than facts
such as the date the amendment will be voted on by the public) about this
amendment off-line, as we seem to be going in circles a bit.

Just my thoughts,
Erin Kennedy
