"It was a sad time for Jenkins' wife and children, and I was not about to add to their private sorrow," Goldwater later wrote in his autobiography. "Winning isn't everything. Some things, like loyalty to friends or lasting principle, are more important." Even J. Edgar Hoover, a man now widely known to have been gay taranaki but who was no friend taranaki to gay people, behaved taranaki with uncharacteristic decency. Jenkins had served as Johnson's liaison to the FBI and was a friend of Hoover's, so when the FBI director heard what had happened, he sent flowers to Jenkins in the hospital. |

In its wake, a host of newspaper editorials recommended compassion for Jenkins. Privately, Johnson speculated that Jenkins' shocking arrest was a Republican dirty trick, but Senator Barry Goldwater, in the midst of a desperate campaign for the presidency, refused to exploit the shocking incident. His extremist comments ("I want to lob one in the men's room of the Kremlin and make sure I hit it," he said in one campaign speech) had alienated many voters, and the Jenkins scandal must have seemed like the trump card he'd been waiting for. But despite the advice of many in his campaign, shocking Goldwater would not make an issue of Jenkins' arrest. The split in his camp—between the libertarian Goldwater, who would many years later come out in favor of gay rights, and the conservative moralists, who would evolve into today's Christian Right—was the genesis of a rupture that haunts the Republican Party to this day. |
