THIS IS WHY GAYS BLAME RONALD REAGAN FOR AIDS

Durg the ial disvery of AIDS, was monly referred to as GRID (Gay-Related Autoimmune Disease), which worked to create early and everlastg associatns between homosexualy and AIDS.

“From the start of the epimic, those most affected by HIV/AIDS were among the most stigmatized populatns Amerin society: gay men, jectn dg ers, and immigrants. Endurg and ultimately survivg the AIDS epimic brought people of differg inti together: lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr dividuals formed what we know today as the LGBTQ muny.

HIV AND AIN AMERIN GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN

However, Amerin urts have thlsly med the Constutn to illicly expand the right to privacy to clu abortn, fantici, thanasia, pornography ― and now, ersatz homosexual “marriage. Organized “gays” have blocked blood screeng for HIV, fought the closg of homosexual bathho, advoted for the legalizatn of both male and female prostutn, shut down ntact tracg and sexual partner notifitn, opposed crimalizg the liberate fectn of another person wh HIV-AIDS, and promoted the e of ndoms, which have a six to eight percent failure rate.

To show how out of touch the mastream media is wh realy, Newsweek Magaze, which has featured AIDS on s ver no fewer than twenty tim, laid the blame for the AIDS epimic at the feet of “homophobia and relig lears steeped moralistic doctre who have supprsed hont nversatn about how to stop . In perhaps the most extreme statement of self-excal, Harry Hay, founr of the first homophile anizatn the Uned Stat (the Mattache Society), acced nservativ of velopg and spreadg the AIDS vis.

All of this shows the power of the homosexual lobby as greedily gobbl up every penny n get s hands on for s very small percentage of the populatn, thereby privg lns of others of badly-need assistance. But still AIDS fundg climbs relentlsly, bee lawmakers know that if they vote agast any crease, the homophil will stantly brand them as “hate-filled bigots” and “homophob.

And then the other part was always send-gusg myself - whether or not I was supposed to be open about my sexual orientatn, whether or not I was supposed to play the game of don't ask, don't Jt so that I'm clear, is the church's official stance on homosexualy today ambiguo or is pretty clearly fed and you'd like to see changed?

‘NUNS QUIVERED AT THE NGHTY BS!’ THE STORY OF TRAILBLAZG GAY POP SONG KAY, WHY?

While 2020 data on HIV diagnos and preventn and re out are available, we are not updatg this web ntent wh data om the Amerina gay, bisexual, and other men who reported male-to-male sexual ntactb, c are more affected by HIV than any other groups the Uned Stat (US) and pennt areas. D In 2019, Black/Ain Amerin gay and bisexual men acunted for 26% (9, 421) of the 36, 801 new HIV diagnos and 37% of new diagnos among all gay and bisexual men.

Over the last 30 years, efforts to prevent new HIV fectns among gay and bisexual men have been guid by paradigms that hold dividuals rponsible for their health behavrs. More recently, wh the game-changg breakthroughs the bmedil arena, attentn has shifted to the bmedil preventn strategi, which clu preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for gay, bisexual, and other MSM (Grant et al., 2010) and vagal microbicis for women (Abdool et al., 2010).

In rponse to the alarmg health dispari among gay and bisexual men, there has been a ll to broan the preventn lens to exame the fluence of multiple social and ntextual factors fluencg health behavrs (Halkis & Cahill, 2011). Dpe clear evince for the social termants of HIV transmissn and the beneficial effects of stctural terventns (Adimora & Auerbach, 2010), there have been limed efforts targetg the social equali, which place gay and bisexual men at greater risk for the acquisn of HIV disease. Of particular relevance to HIV preventn among gay and bisexual men are the social ndns that place at heightened risk for acquirg HIV as pared to our heterosexual unterparts.

ROXANE GAY: ‘PUBLIC DISURSE RARELY ALLOWS FOR NUANCE. AND SEE WHERE THAT’S GOTTEN ’

In this article, nsiratn is given to the manner through which discrimatn and homophobia, which may have been heightened bee of the AIDS epimic (Halkis, 1999), perpetuate HIV vulnerabili for gay and bisexual men. Such health vulnerabili driven by homophobia are often exacerbated for gay and bisexual men of lor, who are often further burned by the social circumstanc of racism and poverty.

Sce discrimatn based on sexual inty is cril to the ias beg put forth, and sce the HIV preventn needs of gay and bisexual men differ wily om those of non-gay or bisexual MSM (Halkis, 2010b), the foc of this issue of the newsletter is on gay and bisexual men, and not MSM general. In the now historic document, which recently reached s 30th anniversary, the CDC (1981) reported five s of Pnmocystis rii pnmonia young gay men who otherwise should have been healthy. Wh bewilrment and fear, I read Robert Altman’s (1981) acunt of “doctors New York and California [who] have diagnosed among homosexual men 41 s of a rare and often rapidly fatal form of ncer.

” In the followg years, I wnsed the eptn of the disease, which s early years was given the name GRID (gayrelated immunoficiency disease) bee of s omniprence the gay populatn (Shilts, 2007; Weeks & Almo, 2010).
