    • 1986 August 9, Ed Bubbenmoyer, “Prisoners With AIDS Just Have Each Other”, in Gay Community News, page 4:
      There are no groups as far as I can tell for gay prisoners with AIDS to talk to. The free world groups such as the Guild Aids Network and the various AIDS Action Committees won't do anything for prisoners. If you are a queen in the free world they will break their ass to help you.
