I agree with Martha D. Palmer (letter, Nov. 10) that the page-one story Nov. 4 about Question 1 election results was condescending and insulting for those of us who care deeply about equal rights.

It is a crushing blow to be treated as a second-class citizen whose rights are denied that are enjoyed by others.

“The most dangerous enemy to truth and freedom amongst us is the compact majority,” Henrik Ibsen.

The words to the song “Born Free” keep going through my head. Isn’t that wonderful concept meant to apply to every citizen?
