and the Early Days of HIV / AIDS' by Niccolo Soldo. Insane how reluctant the homo community in L.A. was in closing down the major centres of infection, or even simply leaving the lights on during their orgies while in the backrooms, so participants could know who is and who isn't infected with A.I.D.S.. Homos deserve the suffering brought upon by A.I.D.S..

"City Hall was right in the center of it, and City Hall depended on votes. Of the little over 300,000 voters in the city, about 120,000--100,000 let us say--were gay voters. The other 200,000 were splintered among the different communities--the Asians, the blacks, the East Asians, the Hispanics, the Italians, all the other ethnic groups--the city is a conglomeration of villages. Now, they wouldn't all vote as a bloc, so the 200,000 votes were scattered. On anything that threatened the gay lifestyle, 100,000 would vote as a bloc, so City Hall had to be very, very careful. When some of the more vocal parts of the gay community were saying all the time, 'Civil rights, civil rights, confidentiality,' City Hall had to listen. And that hampered us at the health department."
