SEGMENT #2 -  Billboard for GLAMA report [:10]  +  In "Sexual Ecology: AIDS
and The Destiny Of Gay Men", GABRIEL ROTELLO uses the science of epidemiology
to analyze AIDS as an ecological and a social event.  What this approach leads
him to say about the role of gay male sexual behaviors in promoting the
epidemic has raised a storm of controversy that seems to pit sexual
responsibility against sexual freedom.  Last week, in conversation with This
Way Out`s JON BEAUPRE, Rotello outlined the thesis of his book and began to
address its critics, and in this week`s conclusion, the widely-read columnist
and author discusses the history and science supporting his viewpoint, and his
fear -- with recent advances in AIDS-fighting drugs -- that some gay men may
mistakenly believe it`s okay to return to unsafe sexual practices [7:00]
