Re: bucer rumor

[bill london <london@moscow.com>]

Below is an email conversation between myself and Gary Greenfield of Bucer's.
(I had originally posted the question to 2020 about a rumored incident
of Bucer's refusing service to a gay couple)
And I honestly feel that by bringing this rumor into the open and finding
ample evidence to discount it has been a service to Bucer's and to the
good sense of the people of Moscow.  Let's lay that rumor to rest.

G-
Many thanks for the clarification.
I did pose the question on Moscow Vision 2020 after hearing repeated statements from gay and heterosexual friends of mine that such an incident did occur.
I thought it was a chance to clear the air and get to the truth.  I see the V2020 list as a vehicle to kill those kinds of rumors (which can be so impactful on businesses), in addition to the other functions of a community bulletin board.
Anyway, thanks for the message.
Since I posted the question originally to V2020, I would like your permission to post this response as well.
