{"value"=>"Tape 5 of 7. National Gay Conference, Chicago"}
- scopecontent
-
{"value"=>"<p>CONTINUED. Continued discussion of endorsement of candidates. An African-American lesbian (? Simons) speaks against endorsing any Republican or Democratic candidate, and says that as a gay black woman she is triply oppressed, and that the two major parties have not done anything to relieve any of the pressures that she feels and that gays and women can not afford to trust either party. She angrily denounces Shirley Chisholm for not representing black women. Another speaker asks what the goals are that the conference seeks to reach and what the goals of the movement should be. Ron Althime (?) talks about the different rules of the Democratic Party. He insists that the conference inform the Party that \"the gay people of America\" insist that there be a minimum of 150 gay delegates and 150 alternates at the Miami Convention, and that such figures would be a balanced representation of gays.</p>"}
