          You think that the people who purposely allowed hundreds of thousands of gay people to die of AIDS didn’t do anything else? That was the only single stain on them? That gays were accepted?

              Yes there were far far more than we will ever even know. Combined with that and the fear that Terror generated you don’t think maybe that number has been pushed down a lot? You don’t think that’s possible?

              Look, this is a “everybody is gay and you better fall in line or we will call you phobic” thread. Just accept that you are gay, and everybody else too.

          Okay then what about the suicides and repression of ones own sexuality? What about homosexual people being disproportionately impoverished and therefore far more likely to die of illness especially as they age?

              Am I missing something? You only brought up HIV while Reagan was responsible for so much more. It felt as though you were discounting Reagan’s impact on homosexuals by limiting its scope and I wanted to clarify that it was far more broad. This feels reasonable to me

              You do realize that this exact thing you’re complaining about here is what you did earlier right? This exact same thing?
