Obama: Everyone line up to get tested for HIV/AIDS

When the AIDS epidemic first came to national attention in the 1980s, anyone urging widespread testing for the virus that causes AIDS was condemned as a homophobe. So, it’s interesting that President Barack Obama now has signed an executive order that makes near-universal testing for HIV/AIDS a national policy. And guess what? No one is calling Obama a homophobe.

Be mindful that well-established public health policies traditionally called for testing in order to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. That policy was trashed wholesale by the politically correct who insisted that the testing was an invasion of privacy, a right-wing plot to “punish” gays and on and on.
