african-americans, women who want to stand up for their rights, but the most reliable "they" the republican party has had, it's out there to undo family values and somehow drag down the america of their dreams, the most reliable are gay people. gay people are, and still to this day, are people who under certain circumstances can be demonized and they are demonized on the right. >> west florida hasn't gotten the message yet. he's still going after the 81 communists in the democratic caucus. i worked in capitol hill for years, as you know. i knew a lot of gay people worked there. they said that place would close down if they didn't have gay people working there. from all levels they were there on both sides of the aisle, right? how did these women survive culturally, socially, morally, where gay bashing still goes on at this moment?
