Default Fred Haise illness?

We'll never know the truth of the nature of his illness because due to the nature of the NASA\military culture of the crew, the public exposure, and the nature of the times back then, does anyone really think anyone then or now would say: "Oh yeah, he was suffering from VD the whole flight." ? Even after so many yearsafter the first gay astronaut flew in space, and all the strides gay Americans have made since then, does NASA acknowledge it and how many Americans are even aware a gay American flew intoo space ?
