"Navy Gives Dishonorable Discharge to AIDS victim" NY NATIVE 9/2/85 "San Diego, CA" - A Navy Corpsman diagnosed with AIDS in May, has been dis- charged form the Navy because of homosexuality, despite his objection that he is not homosexual and despite Army and Air Force policy that AIDS victims be given medical discharges. The decision means that Corpsman Bryon Kinney, whose discharge is dishonorable, will be denied medical care benefits. "The decision came at an administrative hearing in July where no media coverage was allowed and Kinney's attorney's were not permitted to present their case." -- Rob Bernardo, San Ramon, CA (415) 823-2417 {ihnp4|dual|qantel}!ptsfa!rob
