Gay community deserves better than a judgmental attitude

The letter from Michael Cheung ('Citybus entitled to refuse request', January 13) serves again to show the ignorance of those who assume to judge the gay community as the singular deliverers of HIV/Aids.

Using the refusal of Citybus 'to allow one of its buses to be hired for a gay parade' as a platform to launch his ill-informed assault is laughable. Does he expect Citybus to ban gay passengers or fire its members of staff who are gay?

Perhaps he would like separate buses for gay passengers as apparently according to him the gay community is still to be defined by the government and the treatment yet to be revealed.

I wonder how close Mr Cheung knew these men who have left years of homosexuality to seek supposed happiness in marriage.

Those who seek to live behind the facade of marriage to appease the ignorance of family and friends often spend their lives in misery and worst, deception. Being gay is not transient; it is from the womb to the tomb.

Mr Cheung further chooses to quote out of context to enhance his prophecy of doom the alarming figures raised by Tim Brown. Dr Brown is a well-known supporter of various HIV/Aids projects in China and a close adviser to the Advisory Council on Aids.
