Sounds right. It seems unlikely that someone would live into their 70's if they had gotten AIDS.
I'm not clear what you are saying here. He didn't have AIDS early in his life, he contracted it during the 1980s. AIDS was only identified as an epidemic in the early 1980s and gay men with many sexual partners, like Elliott, were at the highest risk of getting it. Effective drug treatments for HIV and AIDS weren't developed until the mid 1990s, which was too late for him. -

I'm replying to the whole thread here.
Why do people get so upset over someone's sexual preference? Who gives a crap? Try highlighting their lives on something besides their sexual preference. It's bloody boring!
If someone has had any sex out of the ordinary, whether it be homosexual, or bisexual, or even no sexual, you can be sure as little green apples, that this one point, this one single aspect of their lives will be emphasised over and over and over again ad infinitum. It will overshadow any accomplishment or deed they may have done.
What are we, children? No, we're worse, because even children don't act like this.
This, and the coarsening of society, with porno and tatts and pierces everywhere you turn, makes me want to leave this so-called sophisticated modern world and become a hermit.
Wait a minute. I just came up with my new movie premise;)
One more transfusion, and I'll be a full-blooded Irishman.

Great post. It really does make me laugh how people on IMDB get so offended, when told whether an actor was gay, bi or asexual. Just shows me how many close-minded and homophobic people there are out there.
I'm not bothered by people being homophobic or close-minded in the slightest, the annoying thing is when people deny that they are either of these two things.
