I would have thought that in the year 2000 we were
beyond thinking of AIDS as a gay disease. Given the
toll that this disease has taken on all people--gay,
straight, black or white, as well as Haitian--it is
not something to attribute to one group of
individuals. Whether or not Haiti had gay tourism
under the Duvalier regime is immaterial--this is a
disease that affects all--regardless of race or sexual
orientation.
