Did you attend the Gay Pride Week festivities in Chicago?  I did not
hear mention of public oral/anal sex nor any references to promoting
sexual promiscuity during these celebrations.  Clearly some homosexuals
are sexually promiscuous but then again, so are some heterosexuals.

I also notice that you seem to be blaming the creation of AIDS on
homosexuals (although you did not spell which disease it was).  Do
you have some divine revelation regarding the creation of AIDS?  If
so, you should share your information with public health officials
and scientists who are fervently trying to understand the disease.

I think you are showing a definite lack of understanding on the subject
of AIDS.  Current statistics show that homosexuals are a high risk
group but so are other segments of the population.  Also, several
persons have contracted the disease who not had contact with homo-
sexuals.  The manner in which the disease is spread is still
a mystery and I think you are being premature in laying the blame
for the disease on the doorsteps of homosexuals.
