To the editor:
I just completed reading your article in the Courier "Going to church at a community centre." I was surprised at your viewpoint towards the noninclusive church group meeting at a space in the community centre, which offers space in Yaletown, regardless of race, sex, or sexual orientation. I support your viewpoint that including or accepting rental agreements for groups that exclude specific citizens is ironic at best!
I know as a gay woman, it will not make me feel welcome knowing this group is present at the Roundhouse. I do not support this decision, which seems to be made either out of naivety or faulty logic.
Some might argue that to not rent to them might be discriminatory. Of course landlords can choose among potential renters, and finding a good fit is conducive to a long, harmonious arrangement. This does not at all seem like a good fit to me!
