Letter to the Editor
Reader fears stupidity, homophobia at CCC
To the editor :
I would like this letter printed
in rebuttal of the letter sent to
you from Eric St. Anthony about
the OCA.
There are some points I would
like to make about the stupidity
and ignorance of the homopho
bic letter about the OCA that was
printed last week from Eric St.
Anthony. First of all, who do you
think you are Eric, to judge
someone else’s actions? It doesn’t
matter if your God doesn’t like
homosexuality. People can do
whatever they want and they don’t
need your God’s approval. That
is so flipping ignorant, it is pa
thetic.
You say AIDS is a punish

To the Editor:
Democracy in America (see
Tocqueville) or A Case of Over
protection , Mr. Uris
We will kill the NEA—the
few pennies it casts to artists and
the modicum of prestige it might
bring to artists in the market
place-in our fanatic zeal to pro
tect democracy where ample
protection already exists. The
childhood fable "The Emperor
and His New Clothes” may be
uses as an analogy. In this fable,
the subjects who lined the streets
(similar to taxpayers) saw what
the small boy uttered-the em
peror was indeed naked! Most
taxpayers, who see a piece of
visual art sponsored by the NEA
(such as "Piss Christ"), will first
be struck at the emotional-vis
ual level, not by an intellectual
and cerebral volley of political
or philosophical symbolism.
These connectors will probably
not happen until those more en
lightened few critique these out of
the work.
The real point is a matter of
patronage. In this instance the
patron is the taxpayer. In our
democracy, there are many types
of patrons—both individuals and
groups-who may sponsor practi-*
cally any type of visual art they
choose and label it as such. In
addition, the artist may become
his own sponsor. All are under
the protection of the First Amend
ment.
Patrons have the right to draw
their own lines, and taxpayers as
patrons will eventually insist on
it. Frankly, the comment during
the debate that grabbed me the
most was Mr. Hooley's statement
of administrative costs to run the
NEA programs—not the need to
oveiprotect visual art from cen
sorship.
