: 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.
