(AgapePress) - Jerry Thacker is an unlucky man.

He contracted AIDS from his wife after she contracted it from a blood transfusion during childbirth, and the disease also passed to the couple's daughter. Thacker's experience with AIDS drew an invitation to join a presidential commission to study the virus.

But the homosexual lobby, with the help of the pro-homosexual news media, torpedoed his appointment. [See Earlier Article]

Some time ago, you see, Thacker called AIDS "the gay plague," which everyone knows but no one will admit, particularly homosexuals and their friends in the Bush Administration. Bush factotum Ari Fleischer gave Thacker what Associated Press called a "stern rebuke."

Well, "stern rebukes" can't change the facts about AIDS, or the paradox of the homosexual positions on AIDS research funding and guys like Thacker. Homosexuals want research money, but deny, at least publicly, the obvious.

AIDS and Homosexuals
Thacker's story is sorrowful. Unlike the "victims" who contracted it by cavorting in a bathhouse broth of the virus, the Thackers were real victims.

His point is, homosexuals are mainly responsible for spreading it. Indeed, in the days when AIDS was more deadly than now, some homosexuals threatened "blood terrorism" by donating blood.

The homosexuals seemed to get control of the contagion with drugs and "safe sex," we were led to believe, but now comes Rolling Stone to prove Thacker's point. It has published a story about "bug-chasers," which refers to homosexuals who purposely contract the virus from "gift givers." It would be the "most erotic thing I can imagine," says "Carlos," an anonymous "bug chaser" who "hooks up" with three to four men weekly.

"Bug chasers" cause 25% of new AIDS cases, the article contends, data that scientists and professional homosexuals dispute. Indeed, two scientists quoted in the article disavow quotes attributed to them. [See Related Article]

But everyone admits "bug-chasing" and "gift giving" are real. Wackos like "Carlos" get a perverse thrill spreading AIDS. "I'm murdering him in a sense," the future "gift-giver" says, "killing him slowly, and that's sort of, as sick as it sounds, exciting to me."

Full Circle
So AIDS has come full circle.

Long ago, doctors traced the American AIDS epidemic, many believe, to Patient Zero, a homosexual airline steward who purposely spread what he told victims was "gay cancer." It became the No. 1 health problem for homosexuals, but seemed to subside as treatments improved, and homosexuals learned sodomizing 200 men annually, like "Carlos," isn't very healthy.

Now, AIDS is rising again, thanks to renewed homosexual promiscuity. As one repentant "bug chaser" who appears in Rolling Stone told Newsweek, "there are a large number of people having unsafe sex, and that's why the number of HIV infections is rising."

So what about Thacker's "gay-plague" remark? The government reports that men and boys account for 82% of AIDS, with 45% attributable to buggery. Do the math.

No one denies what Thacker said. They merely object to him saying it.

The Paradox
Thus, the paradox: If AIDS isn't a "gay plague," if it doesn't affect homosexuals more than any other group, then federal funding for AIDS research should not top the homosexual legislative agenda.

Yet such funding is atop their agenda; indeed, the homosexuals incessantly caterwaul about it. Special-interest groups, after all, don't lobby on issues that do not primarily affect them.

The homosexuals can protest, and that weenie Fleischer can "sternly rebuke" Thacker.

But they can't change the truth.
