To the editors:
I would like to sincerely thank you for publishing the offensive and hateful letter by John L. Adams '50 which decried Harvard's decision to appoint a lesbian couple as masters in Lowell House. It is important for everyone to be reminded that extreme homophobia and intolerance are still out there, even among the "educated," and that the battle for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered rights is a battle for basic human decency. To Mr. Adams, I can only hope that your gay children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews can survive the atmosphere of hatred you are perpetuating without taking their own lives, as so many of our gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered youth do every day. ARI M. LIPMAN '00 May 6, 1998
