Letter About "Homosexual Booth" Stirs Debate

One display table at the Fall Festival prompted a letter to the Castro Valley Forum.

The Fall Festival drew thousands of people to celebrate Castro Valley.

But one letter-writer to the Castro Valley Forum explained why she stayed away.

A Facebook note from Castro Valley News quickly drew dozens of responses.

The Web is great for stirring things up. It is not such a great medium for settling differences. Is this Castro Valley's version of the Chick-fil-A flap?
