oh my god your post abt this site and lgbt history reminded me about how i saw some cis saying that trans gay men need to shut up about hiv/aids because it doesn’t affect them and it didn’t affect them in the crisis and my soul legitimately left my body and then came back thirsty for blood

People are cruel and incorrect about some of the worst things on this website, that’s for sure. The number of blatantly ahistorical and erroneous takes I’ve seen about the American LGBT community’s experience with the historical HIV/AIDS epidemic and with HIV/AIDS currently is really sad considering how relevant HIV/AIDS is to our community.
