I went over to [a fellow priest dying of AIDS] and I said, Richard, it’s Reverend King. Would you like me to pray for you? He mumbled something, and I wasn’t sure I heard him, and I repeated my question, and then he very clearly said, It won’t do any good … God’s punishing me because I’m a homosexual, and that broke the dam for me. I said, That couldn’t possibly be true. If that were true, I’d be in the next bed.”
