Summary: Homosexual Law Changes (Press, 15 July 1985)
In a letter to the editor published on 15 July 1985, Hugh Gaw responds to Mr Joe Simmonds of Concerned Christians, who argues against homosexual law reform by linking it to the rise of A.I.D.S. Gaw contends that Simmonds' claims are based on misinformation. He points out that the highest number of A.I.D.S. cases is found in New York, which is a large city where higher incidences of various issues are expected. Gaw notes that despite the efforts of gay activists over 15 years to pass gay rights ordinances in the New York City council, they have been unsuccessful. Furthermore, he highlights that the area with the highest per capita rate of A.I.D.S. in the United States is Belle Vue, Florida, where there are no homosexual victims among those affected. Gaw's letter advocates for a more accurate understanding of the complexities surrounding A.I.D.S. and challenges the narrative that links it to homosexual law reform.
