An anti-war activist is gay? I’m shocked.
Was he ‘hoist with his own petard?’ ;)
A communist is dead? Good
I bet it sucks to be dead - especially after having spent a lifetime working for the devil.

In 1963, the crew-cut sophomore transferred to UC Berkeley as a divinity student. Some time later, his family saw televised reports of protests there showing a rather scruffy-looking guy with long hair, recalled his sister, Shirley Metcalf.
His family was sure he never would participate in such activities, she said, and was shocked when on school break in walked the scruffy-looking man.
Mr. Hamilton later helped found the Marxist Revolutionary Union and organized at work in Richmonds Bethlehem Steel factory.
He became a therapist trying to better the mental health system
Steve was a radical political activist who remained committed to core progressive ideals for his entire life.
, Steve initially considered becoming a Christian minister, but soon got caught up in the political ferment that was Berkeley in the 1960s. He joined SLATE, the Free Speech Movement (FSM) the Progressive Labor Party (PLP) and the Revolutionary Union (RU).
By the mid 70s Steve was a member of BASOC (Bay Area Socialists of California).
His last job was with MHN, a mental and behavior health network, where he focused on occupational stress issues. In his final year, suffering from congestive heart failure, Steve moved to Louisville KY with his friends Tank and Roman, where he died in his sleep.
From the New York Times, September 11, 2001:
"He [Bill Ayers] also writes about the Weathermen's sexual experimentation as they tried to 'smash monogamy.' The Weathermen were 'an army of lovers,' he says, and describes having had different sexual partners, including his best male friend."
