Loathsome disease takes on heroic

IT IS a sign of the times that a man who dies of a
loathsome disease contracted by loathsome sexual
practices should become a hero.

“Rock Hudson’s Name
United With Aids Fight,”
read the headline. ‘‘A
Legacy Of Hope’’.

Eyes are raised to heaven
in prayerful thanks. The
president of the United
States, who is usually quite
sane, makes like a parson at
the obsequies and ends with
the words “God rest his
soul’’,

One has one’s doubts that
God listens to such junk. He
was the one, after all, who
invented this Botch.

In Los Angeles, the stars
parade at a Botch benefit in
honor of the moribund hero,
and after Hudson’ ;S ascent to
heaven, or wherever it is that
Homos go when the
pestilence has got them, the
Many-husbanded - Elizabeth

It would make more sense
for Toronto City Council to
set up isolation hospitals for
Botch carriers. That's what
always used to happen when
a plague was around. I
distinctly remember being
sent to a fever hospital when
I was a kid and got
diphtheria. Had a nice time
there, too. Now such isola-
tion would be against the
Charter of Rights or some-
thing. /

Can't wait to hear that the
Toronto city fathers have
agreed to take AIDS people
into their houses. Example is
always the best teacher.

take to be a play. It is called
Take The Fire, which has to
do with ‘‘women’s power/
sexuality’.

The blurb states that the
performance piece was
‘conceived and directed’’ by
a lady called Beesack —
Anne Beesack — and that it
