THE GAY 'DISEASE'

Spanish-language TV network Univision, known for its marathon variety shows and scantily-clad onscreen hosts, recently aired a program in which homosexuality was discussed as a "disease" and the result of molestation.

Quotes from the program include such winners as, "Would it be that all [homosexuals] have been abused, hence their sexual preference?" Someone also said, "Let's stop our relatives from touching/abusing our own children so they do not end up like this."

Gay-rights group GLAAD, of course, takes offense to all of this. Univision has yet to respond to them.

No one mentions the prominence of Liberace-styled astrologist Walter Mercado, who is known for his lavish robes, gaudy jewelry and beehive/pompadour hair do.
