“The introduction of gay sexuality into national debate about AIDS thus converged with two new ways of imagining citizenship as a mode of national belonging. In the context of AIDS hysteria, political & cultural conservatives, including those within the Christian Right, could declare gay men and lesbians as not fully American.”
Anthony M. Petro, After the Wrath of God: AIDS, Sexuality, and American Religion
