While working as a sexual health educator in Calgary several years ago, artist and activist Mikiki would often gently correct clients who said they had never met a gay person. Actually, you probably have but just didn’t know it, Mikiki would explain.
Today, living and working in Toronto, Mikiki says similar conversations happen frequently about HIV.
“When people say, ‘I don’t know anybody who’s HIV-positive,’ I’m like, ‘If you live in Toronto, you actually do,’ ” says Mikiki.

As terrible as opening a BM restaurant.
Methinks it won’t stay open for long.
Yeah.
People using this BS to virtue-signal online wont be regulars.
“And what will you be having, sir?”
“I’m in the mood for puffer fish in a bed of habanero peppers, yogurt for two, and what the heck, I’ll finish off by dancing with a dead relative.”
“Sir is reminded that yogurt is high in cholesterol.”
“Oh, what the hell. It’s not like it’ll give me HIV, is it?”
You will not catch HIV by eating there, but quite possibly Hepatitis.
And how much more disease spreading occurs when deadly communicable diseases are treated as a special social class?
If there was ever a will to stop AIDS, it would have resulted in the testing and quarantine of people until it was eradicated. Instead, society is supposed to pretend this disease is not a threat so as to not hurt anyone’s feelings, while also allowing innocent victims to contract a stoppable disease that has no cure.
All I see is investors losing a lot of money.
Lets see. What restaurant should we go? Italian? Chinese? Thai? That new burger place? Steak? HIV Positive? Hmm. Difficult choice.
Drinks for gentlething and the lady-man?
The wisdom of a business model focusing on serving those with a life ending disease seems a touch short-sighted.
This winner business plan reminds me of The Garden Diner and Café, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Thats the vegan worker-run “collective” that recently shut down after reality overcame their devotion to communist business principles.
You really can’t make this stuff up.....the whole place dripping with disease.
Bkmrk

There can’t be enough people walking around in one town with HIV to support a restaurant VERY odd!!!!!!!
