    • 1988 December 11, John D'Emilio, “Enemies, Anger, and Militance”, in Gay Community News, volume 16, number 22, page 5:
      Jesse Helms is my "enemy" because of what he says and does. If he stops, he ceases to be my enemy. Tactically, I'm not about to spend much time trying to change him. I'd rather make it impossible for him to act in ways that oppress me. But the distinction between the person, who can potentially be won over, and the behavior, which is repulsive, is an important one.
