Gay leaders and politicians bungled an excellent public relations
opportunity brought about by President Reagan's bungled visit to
West Germany.  Not just Jews and Legionnaires had a right to be
outraged; not just Jews and political prisoners were slaughtered
by the Nazis: gay people were a major contingent in concentration
camps.  But while a renewed awareness about Nazi misdeeds was stirred
inadvertently by Reagan, no such consciousness raising was to be had about
gay oppression under the Third Reich.  Gay leaders were sleeping, or
perhaps vacationing in Nicaragua.
