    Default The Angel of Arkansas

    I just read this article on Ruth Coker Burks. What an inspiration. She is an example of true Christian spirit. I remember well the early days of the AIDS epidemic when no one knew what the hell was going on and so many people's knee jerk reaction to demonize gays was pretty much the status quo.

    I remember fearing terribly for my gay brother and that he kept himself aware and informed of the disease and took appropriate precautions. He did but quite a few of his friends, people I knew and liked, caught AIDS and died.

    But reading this article and knowing that so many people and families abandoned their family members in such a callous and heartless manner just simply breaks my heart and saddens me beyond words. I agree with the man in the article who lost a son to AIDS who said he didn't understand how anyone could abandon a child or a loved one that way. It just wasn't the way he was raised. I agree. Family is family and without family you are nothing. You take care of your own. No matter what they have done.

    It disturbs me in no small measure that to know that during the height of the AIDS epidemic that so many doctors and nurses and men and women of the cloth could violate their sacred vows and not even provide comfort, in their time of need to the dead and dying.

    I take great comfort though knowing that there was an Angel in Arkansas.

    They didn't take a suicide pact because of immoral deviant queers. The queers got what they deserved. It was a sad day in drug development when protease inhibitors came to market.

    I can't imagine turning my back on my child, but worse, my dying child. This woman was an angel.

    No. I don't like hearing hate spewing rants of mouth breathing bigots with deep seated inadequacy complexes. I didn't thread ban conservatives. I tried to thread ban the people least capable of an intelligent conversation. Looks like a missed a few.

    Why, so everyone, regardless of how they contracted AIDS/HIV, could die?

    You don't like homosexuals. We get it.

    What about heterosexuals who contracted this disease through blood transfusions? While this method of transmission has been nearly eradicated today, it has happened.

    What about someone who didn't know they had it and unwittingly gave it to a heterosexual partner?

    What about babies born with it?

    You'd condemn everyone because you don't like homosexuals?

    You never cease to sink even lower into the depths of despicable character.

    Pray you never wind up living in the world you seem to want.
