Flow Of Information Exposed To The Virus

AIDS is a life and death issue. To have the AIDS
disease is at present a sentence of slow but
inevitable death. I've already lost one friend to
AIDS. I may soon lose others. My own sexual
behavior and that of many of my friends has been
profoundly altered by it. In my part of the
country, one man in 10 may already be carrying the

Benefits for Homosexuals in the Workplace For many
years now minority groups have been fighting to
get equal representation in high paying jobs and
to be treated like everyone else if they are

being treated unfairly by companies that do not
offer domestic partner benefits and other fringe
benefits that are offered to heterosexual workers
and their spouses. They argue that their partners

Should homosexual couples be allowed to adopt
children? The question concerning gay couples
adopting children has become major problem in our
society. This has become more of a political issue
than a moral issue. If the question is looked at
morally instead of politically then there would be
no question at all. Gay couples should be in no
way allowed to adopt children. There are several
