{"value"=>"<p>Manford begins by discussing the stated plan of Ed Koch, the newly elected Mayor of New York, to issue an immediate executive order barring discrimination in City hiring practice, and all other areas in which the city government is involved, based on sexual orientation. This leads into a discussion of the evolution of the gay movement and its present (1978) political agenda and how it relates to the gay rights bill. Among other subjects Manford explores is his undertaking a project to determine whether the gay rights bill (1978) relates to hiring practices and other areas sensitive to gays in which the city government is involved. Manford also states that it is feasible that the gay movement can take the offensive in New York City, and suggests that New York City can serve as an effective focal point around which the gay movement can gain strength.</p>"}
