The president of the American Medical Association has apologized for remarks in which he likened gays to coca cola or rape.

In an interview last month with the Westchester Journal News AMA President John Nelson defended New York Medical College's decision not to recognize an LGBT student group saying that as a private institution the college has the right to set and enforce its own policies. (story)

Nelson then said that the school was acting no differently than Brigham Young University in banning Coca-Cola from campus or its suspending of four athletes accused of raping a 17-year-old girl.
