We need to remember: Margaret Thatcher's speech that led to the first new anti-gay law in 100 years in the UK

And then, this: 

"Pathetically, in her dotage, Baroness Thatcher was led by her supporters into the House of Lords to vote against Section 28's repeal: her final contribution to UK politics. She dies too early to oppose Parliament's inevitable acceptance of same–gender marriage. Thatcher misjudged the future when, according to her deputy chief whip, she 'threw a piece of red meat (Section 28) to her right-wing wolves.' Some of these beasts survive her, albeit de-fanged. When, to take a recent example, a disgraced cardinal delivers anti-gay diatribes, the spirit of social Thatcherism is revealed as barren, hypocritical and now pointless."

--Sir Ian McKellan

No one is all good or bad, but the LGBT community must remember the outrageous discrimination we have faced from Reagan, Thatcher, George W. and others, to make sure it never happens again, and to stop it from happening in other countries today.
