Slack­tivist observes that Bryan Fis­ch­er is an AIDS denier:

Tweet from Bryan Fis­ch­er of the Amer­i­can Fam­i­ly Asso­ci­a­tion:

“New pill stops HIV virus. But won’t stop AIDS since caused by exten­sive inhalant drug use, not HIV.”

So there it is. Bryan Fis­ch­er is an AIDS denier. The chief spokesman of the Amer­i­can Fam­i­ly Asso­ci­a­tion is an AIDS denier.

Do you need to know any­thing, any­thing at all, else about Bryan Fischer?

No.

Is there any­thing, any­thing at all, else that you could pos­si­bly learn about Bryan Fis­ch­er that would bal­ance this out and make him a cred­i­ble and/or decent human being?

No.

So why is Bryan Fis­ch­er still treat­ed as a respect­ed, cred­i­ble peer by his allies in the reli­gious right? Why is Bryan Fis­ch­er invit­ed or even allowed to speak at gath­er­ings of the reli­gious right and the Repub­li­can Party?

Bryan Fis­ch­er is an AIDS denier. The Amer­i­can Fam­i­ly Asso­ci­a­tion is an AIDS-deny­ing organization.

That’s real­ly all you need to know about them.

And that’s real­ly all you need to know about the decen­cy and cred­i­bil­i­ty of any­one who regards them as an ally or a source of support.

Sim­i­lar­ly for “the god­fa­ther of intel­li­gent design” cre­ation­ism, Philip John­son, and lead­ing ID advo­cate Jonathan Wells, both of whom have placed them­selves in the “AIDS is caused by teh ghey” camp.
