Anybody ax him about the intolerance of his side towards a difference of opinion?
Pray America wakes up
What was he worried about, he and his partner were in a monogamous relationship and using protection, right?
Right?
If he was having so much gay sex in the 1980s when he was pitched as a teen heartthrob for the depressed chick set, I’m sure we would’ve heard about it then.
It’s not like the media hides key details about peoples’ public identities, right?
Right?
Wasn’t it Castro who was putting the HIV+ people on a little island all to themselves?
There was one?
That was so they could ge the BEST state medical treatment known to man. < /sarc >
And Dick Cheney pickin’ ‘em off from the balcony with a shotgun...
But at least he got his spine, and his Orange Crush.
stupid is as stupid does.
Here's a novel idea--instead of worrying about internment camps that do not exist, never existed and are so out of the realm of probability, how about these nuts worry about the ramifications of IV drugs or homosexual sex or whatever behavior they are engaging in that might give them the HIV.
If he found out that he had HIV back then, three hots and a cot were the least of his worries.
There WAS talk of quarantine among the population and in conservative magazines. The talk was, if this were a disease transmissible by air / droplets / casual contact, there would have been, to protect lives. And thousands of gays would have been saved. But instead the politics of the day were such that BECAUSE THE PATIENTS WERE GAY it wouldn’t be PC to do medically sane prevention. That would be “homophobic” so to prevent that horrible optic, more gays, MANY MORE GAYS, and many other victims (transfusion, wives of closeted men, injectable drug users) had to die.
It’s a stupid article. I worked in a blood lab at the time and there was serious talk about quarantining. We even “mini quarantined” the blood samples of AIDS patients and kept them away from the young college students (me included). But Reagan never mentioned it as far as I know. Sensible medical,professionals did.
LOL! My brother and I say that all the time.
It’s the Cuban paradise that has AIDS camps.
Nixon “talked about” using the IRS to target political enemies.
The Democrats actually used the IRS to target political enemies.
As far as I can tell, the Republicans never talked about rounding up citizens and putting them in internment camps.
That doesn’t mean the Democrats won’t do it!
I miss that uniform. I had to buy some BDUs even though I was getting out and they were relatively expensive.
Whats the frequency, Michael?
The bath/sex houses weren’t even shut down.
