Bush appoints anti-gay member to AIDS panel. Jerry Thacker runs the Scepter Institute, a Christian Ministry. Their website states that “Both Jerry and his wife, Sue, [are] HIV-positive. How could it be? Jerry and Sue were committed Christians.” The L.A. Times notes that Thacker has described homosexuality as a “deathstyle,” and describes significant revisions that have been made to the Scepter Institute’s website.
I wonder if Thacker will be applying for some funds to renovate Scepter’s offices, now that he is providing such a valuable social service? [metafilter.com]
