Great story, man! All of this has really been causing me a lot of agony over the last few days. Homophobia and AIDS stigma walk hand in hand, and they’re killing people.

It’s so sad to see popular artists like DaBaby perpetuating them.

I’m just getting ready to publish my own article touching on the matter, but headlinimg a lesser-known event in Wyoming where a white bar owner sold t-shirts calling for the murder of gay men because of AIDS.

We have to get this kind of uninformed talk under control. Until we can tame AIDS stigma, people are going to keep needlessly dying of AIDS. We have it within our power to stop the epidemic, but misinformation is hurting us.
