      <![CDATA[Coburn is right.  There is more to the McKeon story.  McKeon  was a troubled man whose life was a complicated mixture of good and bad but who ultimately succumbed to self-destructive bitterness and made himself and many others around him miserable. My regret is not for the loss of his life but for the loss that his life might have been.

      <![CDATA["The Gay community cosigning with depotism will leave a serious void in the progressive fabric of this city long after Daley is gone ."
    
    It's despotism.
    
    And progressives cooperating with this administration is both the height of folly and the depth of hypocrisy.
    
    Homosexuals should especially abhor hypocrisy, not embrace the hypocrites for temporary meager benefits.
    
    This just proves that assholes abound in every community, no pun intended.

      <![CDATA[Daley has a Gay following, because is a confirmed Bi-sexual. His favorite when he was in Springfield was Frank Kruesi. Don't get me wrong live and let live. Many of the Gays hate everybody else,they are definitely not progressive. Look at Ald Tunney,he is corrupt as they come. He loves sticking it to other citizens.

      <![CDATA[Daley is a great Mayor.  Chicago is a great city.
    Daley is the first Mayor to have a human rights ordinance and push for gay marriage and have recognized homosexuals in his own family.
    Mayor Daley is the best most pro-homosexuals Chicago ever had.

      <![CDATA[There's a lot more to the McKeon story. Go to the Reader archives and see Joravsky's article "Their Own Worst Enemies?" (June 25, 1999) for background on the controversy over whether McKeon, despite being Illinois' first openly gay legislator, actually was responsible for STALLING passage of Illinois' gay rights bill.
