It certainly wasn't a bad time in the country.
Any of us who have lived around a large gay/les community know first hand the generally miserable lives these people lead. Not the accomplished artists, successful lawyers, and wealthy business types who can afford to indulge almost any behavior they choose, but those lower down the totem pole who managed to get caught up in the life style.
Dead (statistically) by 43, heavy suicide rate, generally sick more than not. Is this what any parent would want for their child? In my mind it's the same as trying to keep your kids off of drugs.
And one other thing; the remark about quarantining AIDS patients as being another example of anti-gay and otherwise Medieval thinking; I was living on the Peninsula in the Bay Area in the early 80's when AIDS was originally confined to the gay male population. It;\'s breeding ground were the notorious SF bath houses. Shut them down? No! You'd be depriving these people of their freedom and right of sexual expression. The media and medical/psych community aided, abetted, indeed even created a misperception that the notion of quarantine was an affront to the dignity and humanity of the gays. Result? AIDS quickly crept into the drug-user community, and then into the hetero community through hookers.
The left has caused some much misery, desolation, and death. When will it ever be brought to account?

Guess who bitches and complains when we all don't want to pony up for more funds for AIDS?
You want to live a homosexual lifestyle? Fine with me. Just don't ask me to pay for it or condone it.

It certainly wasn't a bad time in the country. As long as you're lurking here, do you have anything to say to the many FReepers who want you to step down as Majority Leader?
