his team was strategizing. They were discussing the fear of "others"; the unknown - the fear of gay people. This is what he said:
“Every gay person must come out. As difficult as it is, you must tell your immediate family. You must tell your relatives. You must tell your friends if indeed they are your friends. You must tell the people you work with. You must tell the people in the stores you shop in. Once they realize that we are indeed their children, that we are indeed everywhere, every myth, every lie, every innuendo will be destroyed once and all. And once you do, you will feel so much better”
― Harvey Milk
I often think about this. I had a coworker who was a Trumper by default (her entire family were rabid Trumpers). She and I shared many values, always fighting for the underdog. She knew who I was & supported, although I never really spoke about it. Anyway, long story short, she now dislikes Bunker Boy because of his treatment of people w/disabilities and people in need.
My friend was brainwashed, and conflicted. She finally realized that she was being lied to.
