Joan started writing to ease the pain of losing her son King to the AIDS virus. People need to know AIDS is not just a "gay disease." AIDS does not discriminate.

(PRWEB) April 16, 2005 -- Joan Nelson in her very own personal story about her son wants to help other parents understand their gay children. Joan’s son King died with complications of the HIV/AIDS virus. She started writing to ease the pain of losing her son to the virus. She realized that through the memories of their special relationship he would be with her always. She also wanted to tell others about the fear, anger and discrimination that follow an HIV/AIDS diagnosis and living with HIV/AIDS.

Why do we continue to allow the discrimination and total disregard of other's feelings while we sit by and act so nonchalant while the federal government puts budgetary concerns before our own nation's welfare? All people need to know that AIDS is not just a gay disease, it is a disease of all people, and AIDS does not discriminate.
