[Fwd: This makes it all very difficult to travel to the US for Europeans.]

April 14, 2005

This is one ofthe reasons I was sad back when Bush got

re-elected. Kerry said he was going to remove the ban. I was planning

on coming to the USA for the gay games, but there is no way that I will

be coming while this is still in place, seeing as I am on med's and

have no intention of stopping them for my trip. One day someone will

realise that they are limiting the tourists coming in, and the only

people that pay any attention to it are those that respect the law....

Thanks for the clarification, , and please understand my own

disgust at this situation. I have written my congress people,

senators, and Senator Kerry.

The basic problem is that the Republican Party and it's Radical

Christian supporters view all people with HIV and Gay people in

particular, as the ultimate evil in the world. They do not want to

do anything that might benefit the health or happiness of people living

with HIV in the West, and not really even the children dropping like

flies in the developing world. Their agenda is about punishment and

retribution, not health and welfare.

One could argue that if other nations followed the US example of

banning HIV positive people entry that this would send a message to the

US. It would, and it would be the wrong one. The people that hate us

would just say "serves you right," and they would be happy at this

response.

I wish I thought that this was a policy that might be changed. It is

disgraceful, and I am personally offended by its' existence.

Ultimately, it is the measure of those who have produced it.
