I'd like to see the Hardhats take on the 1970s gay rights movement. Bonus points if they try to intervene in something like the White Night Riots, and end up getting their macho asses kicked by a bunch of Molotov-tossing "fairies".
Or they try to intimidate some gay bars somewhere into closing down, and get a cold hard lesson in realpolitik when their union reps call them up and say "Hey, idiots, our mob buddies OWN those goddam bars!"
Maybe an ATL Stonewall Riot where they get the shit kicked out of them?
