I don't want to start a fire fight, but AIDS spread like wildfire (no pun intended) BECAUSE of the gay agenda's refusal to educate their own about the cause and prevention.

A couple of bi-guys hit for the other team and it's straight AIDS all of a sudden.

Where were the executive orders then

One can only imagine the uproar.

Remember when they tried to close the bathhouses?

It was a politically correct disease. This guy is blaming Reagan and others for not cracking down on them.

If education were the solution, the disease wouldn't even be a problem in this country today. It's not like SARS. Normal people are not at risk.

This article is a lie -- a damned lie -- from beginning to end.

My mother has been in the dance community in Atlanta (one of the epicenters of AIDS) for over 50 years. I was here and grown when AIDS struck Atlanta.

The then mayor, Andrew Young, was a very liberal and relatively young black man at that time. He wanted to close the bathhouses and use the normal quarantine-and-trace public health measures for AIDS.

His common-sense proposal was met with a firestorm of opposition by the very influential Atlanta gay community. He was threatened, protesters dogged him everywhere he went, and the usual liberal suspects joined the gays in screaming "civil rights violation!". The liberal newspapers joined in the cry for Young's blood, especially the little local papers like Creative Loafing and Southern Voice.

Andy wimped out and withdrew all his proposals. I think he was a coward to do so, but his political career would have been over instanter if he had persisted.

This author is blaming the Republicans when she needs to look in the mirror (or blame her deceased husband and his associates, which she will not do.)
