    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?

      No? There were certainly lynchings, suicides, HIV deaths. But the amount that didn’t survive doesn’t number in the tens of millions. The disparity in rates between generations is far too large.

        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.
