He later admitted that had he known the trials he would face in the 1990s, he would never have run for the US Congress.2 By the fall of 1995, though, Gunderson had grown accus­ tomed to the pressure-cooker political atmosphere his identity attracted, both from antigay elements within the GOP and from those simply made curious by the easy coexistence of his conservative values, Lutheran faith, and homosexuality. Fresh off a commanding reelection as the first openly gay Repub­ lican congressman in American history, Gunderson's victory would be short lived. On the timeline of events that culminated in Steve Gunderson's turbulent political end, his backing of Newt Gingrich for minority party whip in 1989 is seminal. As early as 1985, he and other young congressional Republicans began to believe that they shared a forward-looking spirit with the fiery Georgian that, if properly merged, could produce real party strength and "might well manage to unite Americans as WISCONSIN MAGAZINE OF HISTORY With Gingrich holding the number two Republican lead­ ership position in the House, minority party strategy turned sharply to the right. The economy was in bad shape and the budget deficit was deepening, and party leaders had deter­ mined that President George H. W. Bush could not be reelected on an economic agenda and had, according to Gunderson, "decided to embrace the radical right's social agenda."5 In August 1992, with Arkansas Democrat Bill Clinton knocking at the door of the White House, that conservative wave crested at the Republican National Convention in Houston, where Pat Buchannan's infamous culture war speech signaled a new and merciless Republican resolve to win at the expense of gay Americans.6 Gunderson, anticipating the divisive tone the convention would take and troubled by his inability to influ­ ence his party's strategy direction, did not attend the festivities. In those difficult years he served as Gingrich's chief deputy whip, Gunderson found little comfort in his personal life. To gay Americans living their lives openly, Gunderson's acceptance of the whip position epitomized the "closets of power" issue weakening the political progress of a gay commu­ nity still dealing with the AIDS crisis.7 Gunderson frequented gay bars while in Washington, and the perceived contradiction between his own apparent sexual identity, the antigay stances of many of his colleagues, and his ostensible complicity as a new member of the House Republican leadership increasingly attracted public confrontation by gay rights activists.8 Though Gingrich had been formally introduced to Gunderson's long­ time partner, Rob Morris, before he selected Gunderson as his chief deputy whip, Gunderson had never spoken directly to Gingrich about his sexuality. An escalating effort by gay rights groups to out Gunderson in Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional Gunderson carried his reputation as hardworking public servant into District, though, compelled Gunderson to bring the issue out the US House of Representatives in the 1980s. into the open.

    Gingrich-Jones, Candace (b. 1966) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2007 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The half-sister of former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Newt Gingrich, whose record on glbtq rights is abysmal, Candace Gingrich-Jones is an out and proud lesbian activist who serves as a spokesperson and Senior Youth Outreach Manager for the Human Rights Campaign. Candace Gingrich-Jones is separated from her brother by twenty-three years in age and most of the breadth of the American political spectrum in philosophy. By the time of her birth, her brother was already gone from the parental home--married (to his former high school geometry teacher), a father, and living in Georgia. In 1942 Kathleen Daugherty and Newton C. McPherson, Jr.--both in their teens--were wed. The unhappy union lasted only a few months but produced a child, Newton Leroy. Two years after the divorce, Daugherty married Robert Gingrich, who adopted her son and gave him his family name. Newt Gingrich has chosen to pronounce it with a final "ch" sound (to avoid having to correct constituents), whereas the rest of the family uses a "k" sound that is closer to the authentic pronunciation of the German name. A career Army officer, Robert Gingrich took his growing family with him to postings in the United States and Europe. Daughters Susan and Roberta were born in 1948 and 1950, respectively. The baby of the family, Candace, came along much later, on June 2, 1966. Shortly after Candace's birth, her father was deployed to Vietnam.
