Hi, I noticed that the Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council is holding meetings at Shepherd of the Hills Church. Are you aware that Shepherd of the Hills provides a very hostile environment to the gay and lesbian citizens of California? Shepherd of the Hills acted as signature gatherers for the Protect Marriage Amendment that would openly discriminates against gay and lesbian citizens of the State of California. Shepherd of the Hills is using the disguise of “protecting marriage” to be openly hostile to gay and lesbian Californians. It is in the best interest of the Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council to seek a different venue for it’s monthly business meetings. Protect Marriage: Ban Divorce, not Gays! xo Brandy Spears

Zach, you’d think I would know, working at the Daily News, how the members of the Neighborhood Councils are chosen. But I have no idea. I’ve never received any information about voting, or even that such a body exists. Shouldn’t there be some kind of outreach from this council to the people it represents? The whole thing is very puzzling.
