ABC News reported he died from “complications of auto-immune inflation disease. I guess it is not politically correct to use a specific acronym that might implies Harold was a homosexual?

The man was married twice to women and has a bunch of children. It has nothing to do with politcal correctness when someone posts a nasty rumor on a memorial thread because they are too lazy to google "harold ramis" and read about his life and/or his disease, which was disclosed by his WIFE.

There is a wide range of diseases that are classified as autoimmune disorders. His was vasculitis, and inflammation of the blood vessels having nothing whatsoever to do with any STDs. Other common autoimmune diseases most Americans have in their families are thyroid trouble, lupus, arthritis, and many others.

And what stoppped ABC from adding a single sentence or phrase to say his demise had nothing to do with the homosexual lifestyle?

Correct acronym or not, i’d expect the journo-listas to make it clear. We are dealing with low-info folks; and...

Because, not there is anything WRONG with that!

ASIDE:

Please re-read what I posted and use some critical assessment instead of “knee-jerk” crticism.

HINT: I was posting regarding the use of certain terms and not at all concerning the deceased; the “hoops” the media types are required to “jump through” are assumptively ridiculous.
