"One of the major things AIDS has done to gay men is to bring our insecurities to the fore. At the mere mention of a ban on gay blood donors, a few of us are already crying victimisation. There is no difference between the measures the Donor Centres are talking about, and those which would be adopted if there was an outbreak of AIDS among football fans. The fans might wonder, 'Why us?' but I doubt they would feel persecuted. They would expect medicine to find out what, why and how to tackle it quickly, and so must we." - Ian Dewar, Capital Gay, 1983
