Thacker Wacked : /p> p>I appreciated reading Mr. Neumayr's article. As it happens, Jerry Thacker is a friend and colleague of mine. I believe that the gay "thought police" have "borked" Jerry most unfairly. It's ironic that those folks don't like someone like Jerry who has AIDS and is also opposed to the lifestyle which produces that terrible and deadly disease. So there it is. Abstinence will never be acceptable to those who insist on sacrificing their own health for the sake of their own selfish political agenda. Only in America do we have such contradictions. br> -- David McGuire br> Owatonna, MN /p> p> George Neumayr's commentary about Jerry Thacker and his shortlived appointment to the HIV and AIDS panel was a welcome antidote to the politically correct reporting on the matter. The San Francisco Chronicle reprinted (with added comments) the Washington Post story on Jerry Thacker and refused to report even one pro-Thacker person. Within that article each solicited quote was negative to anything but the gay agenda. One of the comments claimed abstinence only was a failed practice. Another said that reparative therapy doesn't work and that the psychiatric community was of one mind. Since reporting these days is so difficult what with the Internet and all, I feel called to instruct reporters to enter Google and type in Dr. Robert Spitzer . That should put to rest any notion that reparative therapy has no supporters among prominent psychiatrists. Wonder what psychiatrists have to say about news organizations that resist knowledge?
