    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]

    Guess that makes lesbians God’s chosen people then, Mike.

    (The last time I trotted that line out was back in the 90s in reference to a similar statement about AIDS made to me in person by someone who actually believed this shit. Never thought I’d have to drag it out again, but here we are.)

      I think I read a news article that said they found it on archive.org, but I personally did not check the website. I’m sure you can find the website and use the wayback machine to get it.

    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.
