I had a couple conversations with gays that say they hated Reagan, they said he was anti gay, he couldn't even say the word AIDS till 87 according to them. They were misinformed
Reagan spoke out against the Briggs initiative that would have made it illegal for gays to be teachers
Reagan's secretary was asked about aids in 83 and the answer was it was at the top of Reagan's list and in 85 Reagan was asked about AIDS funding and Reagan said that the government had already funded 500 million toward research. Remember his best friend was Rock Hudson and that he did serve as the President of SAG. Not a position of someone anti gay.
These are the actions of a liberal person, so if the liberals had a problem with that, they can go fuck themselves. Reagan was a very progressive president in many ways.
Yeah he's my favorite president, I'm getting married in the same church that he did this summer and my daughter served on the USS Ronald Reagan.

and where are the conservatives now who have a touch of liberal in them? Reagan would be run out of the party these days with all of the inmates running the asylum.
