Louis P. Sheldon

I mean, he referred to me as that obnoxious bisexual and then said, but at least he's going to die of AIDS.

And that was Lou Sheldon, who was the head of the Traditional Values Coalition.

So what was the context of this?

We were fighting a campaign.

Lou Sheldon had a bizarre coalition with Lyndon LaRouche, who was a wacko political operative who always had conspiracy theories going on.

And he was convinced that HIV was a government plot.

And LaRouche tried twice to get laws passed in California by ballot initiative that would literally have rounded up anyone suspected, the way that the writing was in the laws that he proposed, anyone who was suspected of carrying the virus that causes AIDS would be rounded up and put in internment camps.

I mean, Lyndon LaRouche had no internal logic whatsoever.

And I actually had to do one trial with the protesters.

13 people, they went to a l- a Reverend Lou Sheldon symposium on homosexuality, where they were trying to teach that homosexuals...

One of the speakers was a congressman named Bill Dannemeyer-

Mm
