Subject: In Support of the Resolution

I'm away on vacation so I can't be at tonight's meeting, but I wanted to email in my support for the resolution. It's important that we stand strong as a city that is inclusive of all!

I play in the Homer Ukulele Group Society, and Jim Hornaday penned a song called "Homer Bound," and the lyrics of the 2nd verse to mind as all this is going on:

Where the rednecks and the hippies all join in hand in hand.

Where the bars and many churches, are united in their stands,

In our little town of Homer, there is every point of view,

Homer bound, and I’m coming home to you.

I've seen a lot on social media from the opposition, saying that this resolution is filled with hate, and that it's intolerant of our president, and that being "intolerant of intolerance" is ridiculous. That's not what this resolution is about. The resolution is about showing compassion for all human diversity.

Thank you,

Maureen Sullivan
