". . . the vultures who prey on these unfortunate folks face up to what they are actually doing. . . ."

Umm . . . I'm assuming that by "unfortunate folks" Ake is referring to homosexuals, and I'm just wondering who "the vultures" are who "prey on" them, why they are preying on them, how they are preying on them, and what they get out of it.

Considering the vagueness of some of the verbiage used by Ake, especially GfS, and also Little Hawk, it's sometimes not real easy to follow what the hell they are trying to say, if anything. Perhaps that's the point.

And before someone attempts to cast aspersions on my ability to comprehend, let me remind them that I majored in English as well as Music and I have worked ("day jobs") as a technical writer (often trying to translate "governmentese" into plain English) and as a radio station news director.
