Harry Knox, director of the religion and faith programs at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation — a leading gay rights organization — said he welcomed the outreach as long as it wasn’t judgmental.

“For far too long, many radical right pastors have mischaracterized the disease for their own political purposes and we have reaped the unfortunate reward of that misinformation,” he said. “It is good news that evangelicals are now embracing people with HIV and AIDS to help us get our needs met.”

I agree with Mr. Knox, this is good news.
