    they said the same type of things, about AIDS. That it was wrought by god for being sinful.

    They’re bigots and their god is made in their image.

          The gist is that if AIDS is penalty for being sinful, why is erectile dysfunction not penalty for being sinful? As in, why do these religious assholes hate seeing people with AIDS get treated, but they take Viagra?

      Was going to say, “where have I heard that before?”

      It’s been 30-40 years. Not a century. Most adults know fully well they’re repeating garbage from the 80s and 90s.

      They learned nothing and don’t care. These people are not reasonable.

      More specifically, they said the same thing about GRID until made to come off their bullshit.

      The syndrome was initially termed “GRID”, or “gay-related immune deficiency”;[94] other less common gay-specific terms included “gay compromise syndrome”,[95] “gay lymph node syndrome”, “gay cancer”, “gay plague”, “homosexual syndrome”, “community-acquired immunodeficiency” (“CAID”) and “acquired community immunodeficiency syndrome” (“ACIDS”).[96]
