MTA, tell subway preachers: A hate-free commute is our civil right!
Hello,
We, the GLBT community in NYC, are writing to complain about the Soul Saving Station at 42nd St (near the 7 train). Many of us had to listen to the Soul Saving Station preachers express strong anti-gay viewpoints that are bigoted as well as potentially disturbing or psychologically harmful to children (many of us have families). If these preachers were saying that God also sends Jews, Moslems, women, specific racial groups, etc to hell, I am sure the MTA would issue warnings or even revoke their permits.
I would like assurance from the MTA that any proselytizing activity officially permitted within its bounds is enacted in a manner that respects all people's civil rights. I accept their right to preach, but not their right to traumatize and insult GLBT's and their families. I also request to be informed of any action steps taken toward the 42nd Street Soul Saving Preachers, and to request that MTA-wide civil rights legislation be enacted to assure a safe and hate-free ride for all. Thank you so much.
Sarah Noack
