Letter to the Editor
In response to the piece, “Loud and Way too Proud”, I would like to start off by saying we have not been loud or proud enough when supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. As a Senator for the class of 202...

Declan,
In response to your most recent column, “Loud and Way Too Proud.” Let’s take a moment to shift our perspective just a little bit. I hope that isn’t too much of me to ask, I wouldn’t want to strain your mind...

If the level of nervous politeness I have received in my effort to respond to Declan Leary’s recent column, “Drag Queens and Jesuits,” is any indication, then he has created at least a minor PR headache for John Carroll...
