 AB    House Speaker Newt Gingrich announced that a Congressional hearing will
       be held to determine whether Federally funded AIDS prevention programs
       promote homosexuality. Gingrich told members of a town meeting that he
       had evidence that Federally funded AIDS programs and public education
       programs were encouraging homosexual practices, including effective
       methods of sadomasochistic interaction. Gingrich, who says he is very
       pro-family, does not favor repression against gay men or lesbians. His
       younger sister is a lesbian. However, he rejects the idea of the
       Federally funded schools teaching first-graders about homosexuality.
