Why would the Washington Post even print this? From today's George Will piece about the 25th anniversary of the AIDS epidemic.
By 1987, when President Ronald Reagan gave his first speech on the subject, 20,798 Americans had died, and his speech, not surprisingly, did not mention any connection to the gay community. No president considers it part of his job description to tell the country that the human rectum, with its delicate and absorptive lining, makes anal-receptive sexual intercourse dangerous when HIV is prevalent.Oh that's right, this is Republican America. It's not a real discussion about gays unless "sodomy" is mentioned somewhere.
