A THOUSAND MILES FROM CARE

Steve Johnson has written a book about the murder of his brother SCOTT JOHNSON which needs to be read by as many people as possible but most of all the gay and lesbian and other communities with affiliations to those communities where most murders and assaults occur. These took place mostly in NSW in the 1980's and 1990 which has had some of the most corrupt police in these organisations leaving devastated groups of people who have over the years had to deal with communities shattered by the unsolved crimes commited against devastated people who then do not have orgaisations they can turn to for assistance and healing. Once I started reading the story I was not able to put the book down until I had finished it. I came out as a gay man at the age of 61 at the time when we were also having to deal with the arrival of HIV and AIDS in our communitiesn and arround the world,giving homophobes yet another opportunity to do as much harm to all our communities with links t0 gay organisations as possible. I became a carer for people dying of AIDS, in Australia mostly young gay men which gaqve the homophobes even more opportunities for hate of those in the community who identified with any of these groups and affiliated communities.
