Letters to Editor - bLetters

We welcome your opinion on public issues, in either of two ways. You can submit a letter to the editor for possible publication in the printed edition. The Virginian-Pilot welcomes letters to the editor on all topics, although concise letters (150 words or less) on public issues will receive priority. Letters may be edited for length, style and clarity and writers are limited to one published letter every month. Please add your name, city, street address and daytime telephone number for confirmation.

The other way is to comment on the published letters in this blog. In this online forum, you can comment as much as you want by using the comment box at the end of each entry.

A barrier falls

On Dec. 24, two writers condemned the photograph of the two female sailors sharing a homecoming kiss. I'm sure you received many letters of this type. Yet I'm also sure there are many in our community both gay and heterosexual who are thrilled to see another barrier to full equality fall. As a 62-year-old heterosexual woman, I wish to congratulate those two beautiful young women for their bravery in proclaiming their love in public view. May they share many years of happiness.
