Ronald Reagan on homosexuality: Believe it or not, Reagan was one of the first major politicians in history to come out for gay rights. Just a year before he announced his candidacy for president, he came out forcefully against Proposition 6 in California, which would’ve barred gay people from teaching in public schools. Not only did he have no political incentive to do it, but it could’ve been a huge catastrophe. In speaking out against the initiative, Reagan used language that was way ahead of its time; he argued that “prevailing scientific opinion is that an individual’s sexuality is determined at a very early age and that a child’s teachers do not really influence this.” Some dismiss his support as too last-minute to have made a difference. But as his biographer Lou Cannon once put it, Reagan knew the risks but “chose to state his convictions.” ...My father once said that Reagan was “the most authentic man” he’d ever met and that “he didn’t have a mean-spirited bone in his body.” Was Reagan a perfect man? No. He wasn't an evil man either. P.S. FYI - the above article is from a Homosexual publication [simple google search]: advocate.com
