Andrew Sullivan is gay . . .

And his obsession with it mars his otherwise considerable talent.

When he resists the urge to insinuate a gay theme into every topic from chalk to nuts, his commentary is engrossing, intelligent, and compelling. He should place his sexual perversions and practices back in the closet and keep a tight focus on the grand issues.

What make Sullivan compelling, beyond his prose talent, is precisely his backgound, and ability to put his particular passions in a larger context. Many of his here discern that, and appreciate that. He is trying to fashion a new coalition frankly, and a coalition that will be a majority coalition, and withstand the test of time. He is a creative agent IMO, and that is high praise indeed from me.

I too was really moved by Bush's initiative in Africa. The AIDS crisis is appalling. It's killing millions. Including children.

They are innocent and do not deserve such a horriffic fate. This scurge needs to be tamed and I'm glad to see Bush jumping on it.

[Porterville]

Regardless,

AIDS is a terrible disease, gay or straight.

It seems more like you're the one who's obsessed.
