To the Editor:

Barnegat Mayor Al Cirulli on Tuesday, Aug. 6used his bully pulpit as mayor to criticize the teaching of LGBTQ and disabledpositive role models in our schools. He also used his time in the mayor’s seat at the August meeting of the township committee to spew his bigoted attitude of the LGBTQ+ community.

Mr. Cirulli is certainly entitled to his personal opinion, but not to make hateful and hurtful comments from the mayor’s seat.
