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.

Crazy how nobody says this about ED amd Viagra 🤔

You mind filling me in? I don't see the connection.

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]

Do straight people not have skin or something? Apparently god hates people with skin I guess.

Hmmm, why does Mike Johnson not have this supposed "gay monkeypox"?

Seriously, I thought we lived in the 21st century where people are supposed to atleast have a few braincells in their heads. We literally have free education for the masses and yet here we are.
