BillJohnson was asking what's a Trump policy that harms gays.

BillJohnson will say gays with HIV don't deserve government help to begin with, so this doesn't harm them unjustly.

A lot of people right here said that those who refuse the COVID vax don't deserve treatment.

There's no HIV vaccine, so that's not exactly a particularly useful comparison.

In both cases, people who have the disease are capable of spreading it to others. So, the reason people who refuse the vaccine are looked down upon, is they are actively choosing to potentially spread the disease to others.

You know, the way you look down on gay people. The way you look down on heterosexual black women, who account for 50% of HIV diagnoses among women. Not that you needed another reason to hate black women, but there you go!

"That's some buffalo bob shit right there."

Pretty common one from back in the day. Biggest evidence against it is the few people who died from AIDS before it became "the gay disease" endemic in the community, before HIV was identified.

Robert Rayford, a 16-year-old from St. Louis, is considered the first documented AIDS death in the United States, dying in 1969 after a chronic illness beginning in 1966; his tissues were later found to contain HIV antibodies. In Africa, the earliest known HIV-1 specimen comes from a Bantu man in Lopoldville (now Kinshasa) who died in 1959 (sample LEO70), with genetic models suggesting the pandemic strain emerged around 1920. --AI Summary

Most is overselling it.
Something like 80% of Americans still believe in the supernatural.
