a head of my own

I reported about this in an earlier posting. I'm glad that several gay organizations, like HRC, are picking up on it.

Written in September 1985, the memo urged that language be deleted from a package of briefing materials for President Reagan. Roberts specifically targeted this sentence: "As far as our best scientists have been able to determine, [the] AIDS virus is not transmitted through casual or routine contact."

It's astounding that someone would tell the President to ignore scientific data that, if shared with the public, would have helped avoid the spread of panic and homophobia that ravaged the '80s.

Unless of course, Roberts is a homophobe himself.
