During the 1980's Ingraham worked as a speechwriter in the Ronald Reagan Administration, and has served as a law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as well as Ralph K. Winter on the Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. After clerking, she worked as a white-collar criminal defense attorney for Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.

According to David Brock (in his 2002 book Blinded by the Right), while writing for The Dartmouth Review, Ingraham attended meetings of gay student organizations for the purpose of publicly outing them in the newspaper. According to Ingraham, she went to the meetings to report in the newspaper how tuition money was being spent.
Jeffrey Hart, faculty advisor to the National Review, said that Ingraham held "the most extreme antihomosexual views imaginable," and that she avoided a local restaurant for fear that gay waiters might touch her silverware or spit on her food, exposing her to AIDS.<3> On February 23, 1997, however, Ingraham wrote an essay in the Washington Post in which she announced significant changes in how she views gays and lesbians. This was motivated primarily by the experience of her own gay brother, Curtis:
In the ten years since I learned my brother Curtis was gay, my views and rhetoric about homosexuals have been tempered, because I have seen him and his companion, Richard, lead their lives with dignity, fidelity and courage.



WTF kind of psychotic world do people grow up in if it takes them TEN YEARS of observing their OWN BROTHER to realize that gays are JUST PEOPLE?!?!? I guess we're supposed to give her "credit" for this realization?



What a f***ing bitch.

1. She's a notoriously sloooowwwwww learner.

She had the advantage of reality clobbering her over her head re. gay issue so, her own personal ox having been gored, she took a few reluctant steps toward political ( and emotional) maturity.

Alas, she remains as dim witted and thick-headed on every other issue.

2. You see it's not until it affects a MEpublican personally do they see our

point of view.

It's about them them them them, me ME MEEEE MEEE DAMMIT MEEE!!!!!

So when it's THEIR brother that is gay, when it's THEIR money that is being fucked with NOW they realize there are problems.

5. Her ignorance about gays is a lot worse than her having been a

white collar criminal defense attorney. After all, everyone accused of a crime has a right to a lawyer...even the Ken Lays of the world. (Which makes it oh, so much more satisfying when they get convicted after due process of law.)

6. Yeah, but it says a lot about who she is...

Let's say you're young, just starting your career as a lawyer. Who do you you want to help out?

If you're Laura Ingrunt, you want to help out rich yuppies who've been caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

If I was a lawyer, I'd want to help those who need it and deserve it. But I'm not all about money.
