Her stance on what we now call LGBTVUWXYZ people cost her deeply.
Clearly the whacko version of our country veered off the rails and brought us what we are dealing with today -- which ain't too good.
I liked the fight in her. As we get older we acknowledge and respect those that fight for their beliefs. She eventually gave it up. Examples:
Jane Fonda-still a whako.
George Wallace admitting he was wrong. Others?
Then there are those who will never admit wrongdoing-Pete Rose, OJ, even Bill Clinton.
A stance which a majority of voters agreed with. Funny how Johnny Carson, Carol Burnett or the Golden girls had nothing to say about that.
