David Wojnarowicz,
Robert Mapplethorpe, and

My Christian conscience says "Grant to the Departed Eternal Rest."
My real feelings are "good riddance to bad rubbish."
Your feelings are legitimate, and seconded.

I am not a vindictive person at all, so I am surprised by what I feel in my heart regarding Helms and his passing.

"State rights" is a byword for legal discrimination.
