Why Adams Was Left Off Open Letter

Huckleberries asked human-rights leader Tony Stewart why he left the name of Councilman Steve Adams off his open letter to Mayor Sandi Bloem and the Coeur d’Alene City Council:

“I left  Mr. Adams off the letter because he did not support the ordinance. My comments and praise were directed to Mayor Bloem and the five councilmen who took a courageous stand to extend equal rights to a class of Idaho residents that were not protected from discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodations under Idaho’s Civil Rights statute. It was not disrespectful of Mr. Adams but would have been inappropriate to include anyone who had not taken a stand to end discrimination toward some of our citizens.”

Any other questions?
