"Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!"
Another famous ginger, libertarian William Weld (no?) seated on stage clapping while President Reagan commends Attorney General Meese on his efforts to outlaw pornography. About midway into the new Netflix documentary Circus of Books.
Circus is itself a curious documentary about one of our last "pandemics," and the morass of bad policies and political spin that left more people dying than should have. The Mason's, a middle class, college educated, heterosexual couple buy a gay bookstore with a large "adults only" section in Los Angeles, and raise three children off the profitable enterprise.
Curiously all their employees and customers begin to die from AIDS, acquired from the the types of Bacchanalian activities celebrated in the books and movies they sell. Just in time to fund their childrens' college tuitions they engage in a little vertical integration, and begin to produce the gay porn films they had previously only sold.
