{"value"=>"<p>Side M-1. Static and loud background noise. Some of the questions discussed are: Why are you here today? Do you think this march will help the passage of the bill? Do you think that there is an effort by the left [Socialist Workers Party] to manipulate the gay movement for their own purposes? Is the strategy appropriate that is now being followed in pursuit of the bill? In the struggle for social change is it possible to succeed outside the party system? Should the gay movement be aligned with any of the parties? Should the gay movement be aligned [for example] with the Socialist Workers Party anymore than it should be aligned with the Democrats or the Republicans? How can the gay movement gain the support of the main-stream community in New York City? How to overcome ambivalence about the gay movement? The responses to these and other similar, fundamental questions lead in several instances to lengthy discussions on the appropriateness of the tactics and strategies of the gay movement, and what gays may expect to find at the root of any support given to a gay rights bill by any of the political parties.</p>"}
