Last time *I* checked, (a) gay men were not a major cause of a deadly disease
either - a virus was, and (b) with precautions among the gay community against
transmission of AIDS being taken to heart to great success, the groups that
were seeing the largest increase in case rates were, indeed, non-gay Blacks
and Hispanics.  Then again, I get my information from groups working with
AIDS and from legitimate news sources, not from LaRouchies in airports...

>Also, last I checked, being black or Hispanic wasn't a matter of choice.

Funny thing, last time I checked, being gay wasn't a matter of choice either.
The only "matter of choice" is whether one chooses to live a life of
self-denial and self-hatred, or self-acceptance.  Trust me, bozo... while
I can't honestly say how I would have voted if the opportunity presented
itself, I was certainly never presented by my mind with the *choice*
of being aroused by the pictures in Playboy instead of the ones in Sports
Illustrated when I was 12 or so...
