`: Reference is made to Bloom's homosexuality and AIDS on page 226 of the book ``Unacknowledged Legislation`` by Christopher Hitchens.  His homosexuality is mentioned on page 195 of ``Bound and Gagged`` by Laura Kipnis.  His homosexuality and death from AIDS is mentioned on page 128 of ``Carpe Manana`` by Leonard Sweet.  I'll stop with these three, but many more books, magazine articles etc. mention his homosexuality and death from AIDS.  I have made mention of this in the article.    `
