Protesters: Anti-gay column is 'hate speech'

TREASURE VALLEY — Four local citizens Friday protested a column written by a Caldwell legislator that implied gays are immoral, calling it “hate speech.” A Boise lawmaker has also criticized the opinion piece written by Rep. Curtis Bowers, a Republican, and published in the Idaho Press-Tribune Wednesday.

In Bowers’ piece he describes a meeting of communists in Berkeley, Calif., in 1992 that proposed destroying the United States’ families, morals and culture by promoting “the homosexual movement” and feminism. He also wrote that the communist agenda would try to destroy U.S. businesses by promoting environmentalism.
