HTN: Elmwood Businesses Targeted by Anti-Gay Letters

The holidays are becoming less festive on Elmwood Avenue, as some businesses there are receiving unwanted "gifts." Owners have received anonymous letters threatening to boycott stores that support gay agendas. Businesses such as El Buen Amiga and Elmwood Farming got the letters, and their owners think an Artvoice listing of stores supporting the Gay Pride Center's discount shopping program incited the letters. The Elmwood Village Association has informed local politicians and continues to support the targeted businesses. The city Commission on Citizens Rights and Community Relations promises that should the letter-writer be identified, action will be taken.
