I never understood that in SF, it took them years to close those sick Gay bath houses even while the members where dropping like flys......of course they could just have been the intitial version of "bug chasers" trying to get AIDS.

Didn't they eventually reopen the bath houses? Anyway, their sickness manifests itself in many ways. I watched a John Stossel report on 20/20 awhile back--there were gay bars where there was a wall with holes at strategic heights on the wall. Anyone could and would just anonymously walk up to a hole and, well, you get the idea. No one ever knew who or what was on each side of the wall. Sick stuff.

It's hard to have compassion for a group of people who are so deliberately self destructive.

It was when doctors started noticing the same faces in the bathouses as those in their waiting rooms that it started to matter.
