Deja,
Please do not portray HIV/AIDS as a homosexual thing, cuase we all know that it is not. Yes, there is are certain feelings regarding homosexuals. But I work for an organization that deals with HIV Prevention, so I have seen how this disease has ruined the life of men and women both hetero and homosexual. 90% of HIV cases are in Africa, and they are transmitted mostly by heterosexual contact. Also there are so many myths surrounding HIV and the ignorance that is displayed about it is mind bottling. Did you know that there is a myth in Uganda that if you have sex with a white woman who is a virgin, you will be cured of HIV? Also, the carribean and South America have the second highest HIV rates in the world, and most of the time this is through HETEROSEXUAL contact.
The plain fact is that a lot of people think the way they will about homosexuality. I ain't gonna sit up here and lie, I have my own hangups and I work with some gay men. As far as those brothers not being there for the frat brother you were talking about. That's sad. I would definately view my sands differently if they came out and said they were gay, but you have but one set of ships/LBs/sands whatever term you want to use, and I will always be there for them.
