NEW YORK, SEPT. 10 -- To the untrained eye, the similarities between lesbian feminist Liz J. Abzug and Thomas K. Duane, the HIV-infected, gay activist who is running against her for the New York City Council, would appear far more striking than the differences.
They are each progressive. They are each gay. They are each so politically correct that their literature assures readers that their campaign headquarters are "wheelchair accessible."  (from a Washington Post article).
