January 12, 1999 |
| TO THE EDITOR: The Association of Flight Attendants planned to hold our 1999 annual meeting in Cincinnati. The passage of Issue 3 and the exhaustion of legal remedies sought to overturn the measure make it impossible for us to hold our meeting in your city.
AFA members do not feel welcome in Cincinnati since it became the only city in the country that prohibits equal protection for gays, lesbians and bisexuals from discrimination.
Instead of Cincinnati, we are moving our 1999 |
meeting to a community that actively supports and promotes human rights and equal protection for all. It is our hope that the citizens of Cincinnati will right this terrible injustice and repeal Issue 3.
Patricia A. Friend, International President, Association of Flight Attendants, AFL-CIO
