Getting back to the original subject again, has anyone noticed how many Republicans and the right-wing press are using issues of homosexuality? The Democratic Party platform calls for equality and all that stuff, and it's been used to smear the Democrats. Southern politics used to involve contests of out-"nigger"ing each other. Now it looks as if there are contests on to out-"homo" each other! It's happening in places as diverse as Texas and Massachusetts. (Here in Massachusetts, homosexual representative Gary Studds' opponent promised not to make Studds' homosexuality an issue; but he went around saying that he was the only candidate with a wife!) The media's getting into the act, too. I recently saw a cartoon from the Copley News Service that was trying to smear Mondale with what it saw as the least desirable "special interests." Homosexuals - represented by a mous- tached man with a dress, purse, and Gay Power button - are, of course, some of these undesirables. Bad news. <_Jym_> :::::::::::::::: Jym Dyer ::::' :: `:::: Dracut, Massachusetts ::' :: `:: :: :: :: DYER%VAXUUM.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA :: .::::. :: {allegra|decvax|ihnp4|ucbvax}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-vaxuum!dyer ::..:' :: `:..:: ::::. :: .:::: Statements made in this article are my own; they might not :::::::::::::::: reflect the views of |d|i|g|i|t|a|l| Equipment Corporation.
