I don’t think I can put into words how homophobic, sexist, and batshit crazy Liam’s chapter about HIV is. I have therefore decided to let Liams book speak for itself and asked my housemates to read a page. The page I have chosen is one where Liam discusses his theorises on the origin of AIDS.

Disgusting. Please explain to me how a human being could have this perspective? I am dumbfounded, frustrated, and sad.

That is a huge problem with the denialists; their unabashed bigotry. Liam is gay, but that does not mean he cannot be a bigot. I tried to point that out years ago about Dr. Nancy Banks. She wrote a ridiculous book called AIDS Diamonds Opium and Empire (or something like that) and expressed what Liam did and worse. When I re-named her Nancy Bigot-Banks, Elizabeth Ely said Banks could not be a bigot because she is black. Logic is not their strong suit, obviously.
