PZA CHAIR GREG MATOVINA's anti-Gay notion of "civility" on hate letter by REC Chair ROY ALAIMO, Jr.


St. Johns County Planning and Zoning Agency Chair GREG MATOVINA, a Jacksonville real estate developer, just interrupted me during non-agenda public comment, and he unfairly accused me of making a "personal attack." I was questioning the actions of departing PZA Vice Chair ROY ALAIMO, JR., St. Johns County Republican Executive Committee Chair, over his controversial June 14, 2021 hate letter in the St. Augustine Record, co-signed by TAMARA RENUART.  
ALAIMO and RENUART made misleading and hostile statements about endorsing "lifestyles," eschewing Supreme Court decisions affirming Gay Rights. (Let she who is without sin case the first stone.)
GREG MATOVINA, real estate developer, nasty, brutish, short-tempered PZA Chair threatened to have me removed in retaliation for protected activity in critiziing ALAIMO.
Loudmouth Chair MATOVINA refused to stop the clock during his interruptions.
I quoted what RFK said after Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, JR. was murdered in Memphis: "What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness, but is love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice towards those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black."
To rebut bigot ALAIMO, I also tried to explain how much GLBTQIA+ people have accomplished since 1566, when St. Augustine founder Pedro Menendez de Aviles ordered a Gay French interpreter be garroted to death because he was a "Sodomite and a Lutheran."
So if an uncouth St. Johns County Dull Republican blocks a vote on a Gay Pride proclamation (JEREMIAH RAY BLOCKER), and another Dull Republican publishes an anti-Gay hate letter (REC Chair ROY ALAIMO, JR.), another Dull Republicans will cover for him/her, and shut down discussion and debate?  
I told PZA Chair GREG MATOVINA that he was not a good chair, and that ALAIMO was not a good Chair, either.
Rude, crude, louche, lugubrious goobers like ALAIMO, RENUART, MATOVINA AND BLOCKER are a stench in the hostrils of our Nation.
