First of all, the AIDS Com- mittee of Durham is not a "brother" organization of the AIDS Committee of Toronto; : @) they are completely separate or- ® ganizations, though both are members of the Ontario AIDS Network. It is disturbing that the writ- er quoted ane particular pamphlet as an indicator of the EK goals of the AIDS Committee of Durham. The pamphlet quoted & | i] Sh Wee in the letter is entitled "Safer Sex Generation" is aimed at a specific group in the population - men who engage in risky sexu- al activities - depicts young men with captions that are gay posi- tive and stress the importance of safer sex. The Ontario Hu- man Rights Code stated that every person has a right to free- dom from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation; the AIDS Committee of Dur- ham prides itself on being non- discriminatory. If the writer would care to come to the office, instead of merely making "a few phone calls", she would also find pamphlets entitled "Wom- "id #0 ON ALL OUR 91892 USED CARS| To Say No" to name a few.
