LED BY THE NATIONAL

CONSERVATIVE POLITICAL

ACTION COMMITTEE.

THE PRESIDENT OF NCPAC

WAS TERRY DOLAN!

TERRY IS DANCING AT FLAMINGO

ON THE WEEKEND IN NEW YORK

AND PROPPING UP:

THE MOST RIGHT-WING HOMOPHOBES

IN AMERICA BY DAY.

Larry Kramer:

THIS IS A MAN WHO'S

RAISING MONEY:

TO KILL US--

TERRY DOLAN.

I WENT TO A COCKTAIL PARTY

IN WASHINGTON AND THERE HE WAS.

I THREW A DRINK:

IN HIS FACE.

I SAID, "HOW DARE YOU COME

TO A PARTY OF GAY PEOPLE

AFTER WHAT YOU'RE

DOING TO US?!"

McFarlane:

RICHARD KRAUSE--

THE HEAD OF THE N.I.H.,

IN CHARGE OF ALL THE INFECTIOUS

DISEASES AT THE TIME

OF ADVENT OF AIDS,

WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING

THAT WAS REQUIRED

BY THE SITUATION,

ANYTHING HEROIC,

SIMPLY BECAUSE:

HE WAS AFRAID HE'D SPEND

HIS ENTIRE CAREER

TRYING NOT TO BE

IDENTIFIED WITH US.

EVERYONE KNOWS RICHARD IS GAY.

HE'S GOT PICTURES OF BOYFRIENDS

ON HIS DRESSER AT HOME.

SO THAT CLOSET CAN KILL

OTHER PEOPLE AND IT HAS.

BEFORE AIDS,

WE WERE CONCERNED

WITH PRIVACY.

AFTER AIDS,

THAT WAS COLLUSION

WITH GENOCIDE--

BEING SILENT,

BEING INVISIBLE--

PARTICULARLY IN AN ELECTED

OR APPOINTED OFFICIAL,

PARTICULARLY:

IN AN ELECTED:

OR APPOINTED OFFICIAL

WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY

IT IS TO RESPOND TO THIS

PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS--

AND THEY DIDN'T BECAUSE

THEY WERE CLOSETED GAYS.

( applause )

( musical number playing )

COME ON ALONG:

AND LISTEN TO:

THE LULLABY:

OF BROADWAY.

McFarlane:

ED KOCH WAS MAYOR

OF NEW YORK CITY

AND HE DIDN'T WANT TO LIF A HAND TO HELP GAY PEOPLE.

HE WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING

THAT WAS REQUIRED

BY THE SITUATION.

F*** YOU.

SAN FRANCISCO'S AIDS

ORGANIZATION:

WAS GETTING MONEY FROM

THEIR MAYOR IN HUGE AMOUNTS.

WE WEREN'T GETTING ANYTHING.

AND IT PISSED ME OFF

MORE AND MORE AND MORE

BECAUSE WE ALL KNEW

HE WAS GAY.

Wayne Barrett:

NOW ED KOCH HAD ALWAYS

CONSISTENTLY IN HIS PUBLIC LIFE

REFUSED TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS

ABOUT HIS SEXUALITY.

David Rothenberg:

WHEN ED'S THIRD OR FOURTH

TERM WAS COMING UP

I WAS ASKED THEN

BY PRESS PEOPLE:

TO ACKNOWLEDGE:

THAT RICHARD NATHAN

WAS ED'S FORMER LOVER.

AND SO I STONEWALLED THE PRESS

DURING THAT PRIMARY RACE

'CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO BE

THE VOICE THAT OUTED

A CANDIDATE.

ABOUT '74 OR '75,

WHEN HE WAS IN CONGRESS,

ED KOCH WAS PLANNING

TO RUN FOR MAYOR

AND HE STARTED HAVING

SUNDAY-NIGHT POTLUCK SUPPERS

AT HIS APARTMEN IN THE VILLAGE.

ONE NIGHT, RICHARD AND I

WERE AT ED'S HOUSE

AND AS WE WERE DEPARTING,

ED SAID, "OH, RICHARD, STAY."

AND RICHARD SAID,

"NO, ED.I HAVE TO GO.

I'LL CALL YOU LATER."

SO AS WE WERE WALKING ACROSS

WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK,

I SAID, "WHAT WAS

THAT ALL ABOUT?

YOU AND THE CONGRESSMAN?"

AND HE SAID, "WE'RE HAVING

A RELATIONSHIP."

AND I SAID, "YOU MEAN,

LIKE A 'RELATIONSHIP'?"

AND HE SAID, "YEAH."

AND I SAID, "WHY?

YOU'RE A NICE-LOOKING

YOUNG MAN.

HE'S AN OLD AND NOT TERRIBLY

ATTRACTIVE MAN."

AND HE SAID,

"IT'S A REAL APHRODISIAC

WHEN YOU GET A CALL

FROM CONGRESS SAYING,

'I'M COMING IN. LET'S HAVE

DINNER FRIDAY NIGHT.'"

THE DAY ED KOCH:

WAS INAUGURATED,

THERE WAS A PRIVATE PARTY.

WE WATCHED ED:

COME IN WITH BESS,

CLUTCHING:

THEIR PINKIES.

AND RICHARD SAID,

"I'M OUT OF HERE.

IT'S BEEN MADE CLEAR TO ME

THAT I HAVE TO LEAVE TOWN,

OR AT LEAS NOT BE IN THE PICTURE,

SO I'VE DECIDED TO MOVE

TO CALIFORNIA."

ABOUT A YEAR OR TWO

AFTER I GOT TO KNOW DICK,

HE SAID HE HAD SOMETHING

HE WANTED ME TO KNOW.

OVER THE COURSE:

OF A COUPLE OF YEARS,

HE HAD BEEN LOVERS

OF ED KOCH:

AND AFTER THEY BROKE UP,

ED HAD MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE

FOR HIM TO WORK IN NEW YORK.

NO INSTANCE:

OF HOMOPHOBIA:

HURT HIM MORE:

THAN THE TREATMENT BY THE MAN

HE WAS IN LOVE WITH.

Kramer:

I WAS AT A FUNDRAISING EVEN IN LOS ANGELES IN '81.

A MAN CAME UP TO ME

AND SAID, "I'M DICK NATHAN."

THEN HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME

ABOUT HIS AFFAIR WITH ED KOCH

AND WHAT A PIG HE WAS,

AND THAT HE WAS PREPARED FINALLY

TO COME AND ANNOUNCE PUBLICALLY

THAT ED KOCH WAS GAY,

WHICH WAS WHAT WE NEEDED.

HE CAME TO NEW YORK.

AND, OH BOY,

WE WERE BESIDE OURSELVES.

AND DICK NATHAN CAME

AND SAID, "I'M SORRY,

I CAN'T DO IT."

DICK WAS WORRIED

ABOUT HIS SAFETY.

AND DICK DID FEEL

THAT IF HE WENT PUBLIC,

HE WOULD SUFFER.

DICK WAS THREATENED,

PHYSICALLY THREATENED,

AND FINANCIALLY.

AND HE CAME AND HE WAS TERRIFIED

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,

LEAVING THE CITY.

Gary Cathey:

I FIRST MET JIM McCRERY

IN THE FALL OF 1975

AT THE SIGMA NU:

FRATERNITY HOUSE.

I KNEW FROM THE MOMENT WE ME THAT HE WAS INTERESTED.

AND IT WAS THE NEXT SUMMER

DURING SUMMER SCHOOL

THAT IT BEGAN.

THE MOMENT I SPOKE TO GARY,

I KNEW HE WAS TELLING THE TRUTH,

BUT NONETHELESS,

FOR HIS OWN PROTECTION

AND FOR THE PROTECTION

OF THE MAGAZINE,

WE WANTED TO SOURCE I AS THOUGH "THE NEW YORK TIMES"

WAS DOING IT.

SO WE FOUND:

SEVERAL PEOPLE:

WHO ALSO HAD:

SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS

WITH JIM McCRERY

WHO HAD SIGNED:

LEGAL AFFIDAVITS.

Man:

JIM IS SEVEN YEARS

MY SENIOR.

HE WOULD JUST APPEAR

AT THE FRATERNITY HOUSE

FROM TIME-- YOU KNOW,

HIS ANNUAL PILGRIMAGE,

SO TO SPEAK, IN THE FALL.

JIM USED:

THE FRATERNITY HOUSE

AS HIS GAY BAR.

HE WOULD FIND YOUNG MEN

WHO HE THOUGH HE HAD A GOOD CHANCE

AT HAVING:

A SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH.

JIM WOULD COME:

INTO MY ROOM AT NIGHTTIME,

COME TOUCH ME A LITTLE

INAPPROPRIATELY AT TIMES.

HE WAS MY FIRS SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP,

AS HE WAS A NUMBER

OF MY FRATERNITY BROTHERS.

Bull:

McCRERY WAS AMBITIOUS

TO THE POIN WHERE HE WOULD MAKE

MORAL COMPROMISES.

BUT WHAT HAPPENS

WHEN THAT MORAL COMPROMISING

IS ABOU YOUR OWN IDENTITY?

THE JIM I HAD--

AND EVERYONE HAD

ALWAYS KNOWN:

HAD BEEN AN ATHEIST.

HE HAD GIVEN SPEECHES

ABOUT HIS LACK OF BELIEF.

HE WAS A DEMOCRAT,

VERY LIBERAL,

HAD NO PROBLEM:

SAYING HIS OPINION

ON THE IMMORALITY

OF THE SODOMY LAWS,

THINGS LIKE THAT.

WHEN A GROUP OF BACKERS

CAME TO HIM:

AND DECIDED THAT HE WAS GOING

TO BE THEIR CANDIDATE,

HE CHANGED HIS PARTY

AND THEN WENT DOWN

AND JOINED THE CHURCH

THAT HAD THE BIGGEST COLUMNS

FOR HIM TO HAVE:

HIS CAMPAIGN PICTURES

TAKEN IN FRONT OF,

AND RAN AS A RIGHT-WING

CHRISTIAN COALITION

CANDIDATE.

HE BECAME A TOTALLY

DIFFERENT PERSON.

I'm Johnette McCrery.

I believe my husband Jim

is the kind of person

we need in Congress today.

He's good-hearted,

but he's not soft-hearted.

He's sensitive

without being foolish.

IN 1992,

JIM CAME TO MY HOUSE,

SPENT THE NIGH AND WE HAD SEX.

WE NEVER DISCUSSED

HIS POLITICAL PLATFORM

OR WHAT HE BELIEVED IN.

WE JUST HAD SEX.

Bottom line,

Jim's a good husband,

a good father

and a good congressman.

He gets my vote.

Would you please give him

yours on election day?

Cathey:

TO BE ABLE TO LIVE

THIS KIND OF A LIE,

THIS HAS GONE ON NOW

FOR 17, 18-- NO, 20!

--20 YEARS.

THAT'S THE MAIN THING THA ATTRACTED ME TO MITT ROMNEY

WAS HIS STRONG SENSE

OF PERSONAL COMMITMEN TO HIS WIFE,

HIS FAMILY,

TO HIS VALUES.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING

HE JUST TALKS ABOUT.

IT'S SOMETHING HE LIVES.

Cathey:

THE CLOSEST THING

TO A TURNING POIN WAS WHEN I WENT TO THE GRAVE
