Probably just as many "straight" people are "gay-happy", and just as many "gay" people are "not-gay/depressed". By the way, you seem to be drastically underinformed about AIDS, and how it can be spread. FYI, it's not restricted to the gay population. -- Rsk the Wombat UUCP: { allegra, decvax, ihnp4, harpo, teklabs, ucbvax } !pur-ee!rsk { allegra, cornell, decvax, hplabs, ihnp4, ucbvax} !purdue!rsk "Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature."
