WaPo now weighs in on Mr. “Gay Plague.” The highlights: the bios on his website have been cleansed of the more radical language we discussed yesterday. I can’t say I blame him, they were embarrassing. The piece brings up an interesting objection to Thacker’s appointment, via Carl Schmid who is gay, Republican, and worked for Bush 2000:
“We need to have a scientific-based approach to the problems of HIV-AIDS and not this radical agenda he’s pushing,” Schmid said. Aside from the harshly anti-gay tone of Thacker’s rhetoric, Schmid said, his major objection to Thacker is his aggressive lobbying for abstinence-until-marriage education.”Abstinence-until-marriage does not help anyone in the gay community, because we can’t get married,” he said. “If you are a gay youth, who is addressing your concerns?”
The punchline: Carl Schmid graduated from Bob Jones University. Compassionate! Conservative!
a technology job is no excuse 
Unfortunately, It is probably incredibly difficult for most people to understand a man like Jerry Thacker, because there are not many men like him. Jerry has a real life experience with AIDS that most people cannot atest to, and he also has a great way of dealing with it that most people do not have either. (Christ) It is the state of the world that makes it difficult to understand Jerry Thacker, but I want him to know that I think he is amazing person, standing against entire ocean of a bigot society, but there are still some good people out there, and I’m very glad he is one of them.
