Campaigning from the closet

Cover Story | It's not what you might think. In contests between straight Republicans and gay Democrats, it's the Republicans who are hiding in the closet. Openly lesbian challengers are raising thousands of precious campaign dollars from gay political activists and PACs, but at virtually no political price. Republicans don't seem to have the courage to make an issue of the militant gay agenda. But it can be done-without resorting to bigotry.

In this issue: "Campaigning from the closet," Sept. 19, 1998
