- AIDS worldwide is a heterosexual disease. It was, at first in
- the US, primarily a male homosexual disease, but that is not even
- currently the truth. The largest growing infected population in
- the US are the heterosexuals. It is the sixth leading cause of
- death among teenagers in this country. Lesbians have the lowest
- incidence of infection of any sexual orientation in the US.

- I see that the religious propagandists has done a far better job
- of spreading misinformation than I thought.

- When I add up all of the intolerance and bigotry I see in this
