I really feel icky responding to this. Like I've been dragged in the mud. But this is really sad. I think this is a red herring, and perhaps even a bit of a canard. I was there. Patrick Scully only asked about an abortion rights rally. He never mentioned any sort of GLBT event or concerns. Brother Michael in turn asked him how often there are pro-choice rallys on athletic fields. Nikki Carlson, Linden Hills Pro-choice, DeLaSalle parent, and GLBT parent "Phyllis Kahn wrote: Let me add a few comments on the separation of Church and State issue. This is from a conversation that Patrick Scully (An Island resident and the force behind Patrick's Cabaret) had with Brother Michael Collins (principal of DeLaSalle). Remember this is supposed to be a public space, under the ultimate control of a public entity as MN state bonding $$ were used to purchase the park land involved. Patrick asked what would happen if a group wanted to use this space for an Abortion Rights or a GLBT event. Brother Michael said that permission would have to come from the Archdiocese. It is true he was just answering off the top of his head, but it doesn't sound like appropriate park board policy to me." REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
