challenges of their assertions. I'm tired of that aspect of the Hillary campaign. You came here to insert an opinion unsupported by anything about a community that is not your own. To characterize historic figures you do not really know about, whom you do not cite nor quote but simply define as if he was your property.
Where are you specifics, your reasons, what issues are they to the left of Harvey on? In 1978 being out and in politics was in and of itself a wildly leftist thing to do. Radical. Militant. But you think he was a moderate? Based on what?

Either discuss or stop dropping Reaganite crap on LGBT issues.
