Quick way to silence the defenders of Ronald re: AIDS |
|
Just point out that what got the ball rolling on fighting AIDS is the Ryan White story.
Before, no one seemed to care since it was only affecting queers who were being punished by God. Now it was a white kid from the Midwest who had the disease and suddenly it was a top priority.
I'm sure this has been mentioned here before, but it really bears repeating to all the people who say that homophobia had nothing to do with the choices made by the Team Ronald.
