Barbara Bush you have right. NANCY said nice things about Hudson after death, but Ronnie still NEVER said the word. When the Quilt came to DC, both Hillary & Tipper Gore did a long visit on the Mall (same trip that Bush lit candles). They were the 1st national political figures to acknowledge what was happening. Bush later became a steadfast supporter of the (what was then called) Walt Whitman Clinic -- the gay health collective in DC. She & Elizabeth Taylor tripled its size & reach. It took their work & almost a decade before health efforts focused on WHO needed it most -- African-American males.
