    there are so many layers of ickiness to this story one doesn’t know where to start. doesn’t say whether the poor kid seroconverted. I sure hope not.

    Are most of you assuming the victim was his son? It could just have easily been a straight rape. HIV not just for Gays anymore.

    It is his son, did you read the article? He was, however, acquitted of sodomy charges.

    Yes it is horrible, but my point is I (and I’m sure most of us) assumed it was Gay rape. From the headline you can’t tell that.

    I sent it to [email protected], mainly because of its homosexual nature.

    IOL: Father accused of raping son is acquitted.

    And you know what they say about assume anyway.
