I have just read Bob Bedard’s letter (BDN, April 8). I would challenge him to explain exactly what kind of “special rights” for gays the Legislature just enacted.

It is difficult to fault people such as Bedard for being confused about what the new law is about. As long as equal rights for gays are touted as “gay rights” in the media, people will be confused about this issue. I choose to believe that Bedard is misinformed about the issue rather than opposed to all citizens of this state enjoying the same rights that should be inherent to all people everywhere.
