The Washington Post takes a look at the gay community's response to Reagan's death. Among those quoted, activist-author Larry Kramer complains:
Not once in that speech -- not once in his presidency -- did [Reagan] ever say gays and AIDS and crisis in the same sentence.
Forgive me, but if Reagan had given a speech linking "gays" and
"AIDS" and "crisis," I can just imagine the outcry from activists
damning him for inciting an anti-gay panic. Not a shred of doubt
about it.
