Ake:

I am sorry. You've said this before, and I dismissed it, somewhat churlishly. And you might ask why? The reason is that the hypothesis that there is a causal link between AIDS/HIV and one's sexual preference is prima facie absurd. I can imagine the link, in some lengthy chain involving a homosexuality gene==>modified immune defense==>cellular vulnerability to virus or failure to recognize virus. I mean, it is conceivable, although it strikes me as very far-fetched.

But let me point out that this could only be true if homosexuality were a genetic disorder.

Imagine that!   It would mean homosexuality was no more a "choice" than eye-color.

Wouldn't that shake things up in the human rights department?
