I remember when the Homosexual AIDS started too in the early 80’s; and even back then, the MSM was trying to deflect the blame.
Yes they were. The original name was "WOGS." Which stood for "Wrath of God Syndrome." It was later changed to "GRIDS" which meant "Gay Related Immuno Deficiency syndrome."
The Liberal Media kept insisting they change the name because the names sounded so judgmental.
It certainly seemed as if it was God expressing his opinion on the subject.
Yeah, they were blaming “homophobia” for the disease.
