- Who the hell said anything about Green Bar Bill dying of aids, I thought that
- he died because he was old. As far as rumors as to him being gay, it seems
- that anyone who is not married by the time they are 30 is accused of being
- gay, especially by the self proclaimed outers, and even more so if they are
- involved with youth, as in scouting.
