42. Reagan didn't kill your brother, did he?

Did Reagan kill your brother by calling AIDS a "gay cancer," thus preventing early research into a "cure?"
Well FYI, he did to my brother, who I lost early on in the pandemic.
I had every right to want to see that poor excuse for a human being dead!
His homophobic rhetoric killed a member of my immediate family.
So revenge is a dish, best served cold!

Is it any surprise that the gun violence apologists are to the right of Reagan? villager Apr 2014 #1
