That last pragraph in the artilce mentions gays. I would like to tell him that when my gay cousin died of AIDs NO ONE in my OKLAHOMA DEMOCRATIC family bothered to tell me. They were ASHAMED of him for being gay and they were ASHAMED of him for dying of AIDs. I found out years later that Tommy had died. I would have been PROUD to go to his funeral, he was still my beloved cousin!!!!!! My Democratic family only managed to feel SHAME for his being gay..... sad.....
