    • 1990 February 4, John Zeh, “Hundreds Protest Homosexuality 'Summit'”, in Gay Community News, volume 17, number 29, page 3:
      Baptist minister and former Republican member of Congress John Buchanan warned that Sheldon and his followers "pollute the climate of our society and make hatred socially acceptable." Mail-bombings against judges and civil rights leaders, defacing of synagogues, and "widespread anti-gay violence" add to an "intolerant social climate that can be literally deadly to our fellow citizens," said Buchanan.
