    Do you take everything hyper-literally, or only when you don’t like what other people say?

    Not they didn’t say it was ok they died. They said it was contained to the gay population. We didn’t have any good treatments for it at the time. You’re trying to twist things into something that was not said.

    THEY LAUGHED AT THEIR DEATHS!

    They made no effort towards intervention, and they withheld information that would have allowed LGBTQ+ people to understand what was happening, which could have been done long before treatment options were available. They have blood on their hands.

    You say Reagan knew many gay people. I hope they spat in his face while he was alive, and pissed on his grave after he was gone.

      You say Reagan knew many gay people.

      His buddy Roy Cohn died of AIDS and he didn’t say a word. Turned his back on him the moment it was public knowledge that he was gay.

      Anybody who claims Reagan ever gave a single wet shit about gay people is a fucking liar.

        If you want civility to return to the discussion, you should consider removing your comments from it.

            Worthless, and a waste of everyone’s time.

                I get it. You’d rather lie for attention than tell the truth.

                I showed my evidence. So you can take your accusations and choke on them. Do everybody a favour.

                I prefer honest conversations. People are nuanced but what you’re claiming never happened. It just didn’t. At least not to my knowledge.

                No, you don’t prefer honest conversations, you are fooling nobody. You prefer asking bad-faith questions and trying to pretend that witholding assistance and laughing at gay people dying is somehow different to supporting their deaths.

                Nobody is buying what you are trying to sell.

                If you have to make a story up to make someone look bad then it says a lot about you as a person and nothing about the other person

                If you have to pretend to not understand basic English to accuse other people of lying, it suggests either a severe lack of either scruples or intellectual capacity on your part. So which is it?

                Bite me.

                    I’m just going to counter your pedantry with three of the literal definitions for cheering

                    cheer
                    2 of 2
                    verb
                    cheered; cheering; cheers

                    2
                    : to grow or be cheerful : rejoice
                    —usually used with up
                    Cheer up! Things could be worse.

                    transitive verb
                    1
                    a
                    : to make glad or happy
                    —usually used with up
                    clowns who cheer up children in hospitals

                    He laughed at their deaths. That effectively falls under three of the definitions well enough
