Summary: A.I.D.S. (Press, 5 December 1984)
In a letter published on 5 December 1984, Varian J. Wilson criticises what he perceives as the exploitation of the A.I.D.S. crisis by homosexual publicists. He dismisses the idea that “bigots and fanatics” are responsible for the spread of the disease, arguing instead that A.I.D.S., like other sexually-transmitted infections, spreads through sexual intercourse, with promiscuity being a significant factor. Wilson acknowledges that consensual homosexual acts should be allowed in private, but he suggests that such circumstances are seldom clear or straightforward. He brings attention to the issue of abuses against young boys, asserting that cases of corruption occur more frequently than the representation of consensual homosexual relationships in prison. He dismisses claims by gay advocates that children should have the option to choose a gay lifestyle, labelling this as nonsense and urging them to stop promoting what he considers a serious crime while the A.I.D.S. epidemic continues unresolved.
