I gotta be real with you, I’m skeptical as fuck about these ACT UP dudes. They’re from Yale and other big rich people colleges. Almost all of them are in ritzy jobs now and they were somehow able to get regular dinners with high level government officials all the time during the AIDs crisis. I sure as hell am not gonna hold any Reagan appointee in high esteem, and I’m gonna keep wearing masks despite Fauci flip flopping on them all the time :shrug-outta-hecks:
ACT UP was originally cross-class movement, because the virus and the homophobia didn’t discriminate by class.
Now of course treatment is available to anyone who can afford it.
Sure, but these rich guys in ACT UP survived and most of the old ACT UP died from AIDS. So no one from that time can contradict them on Fauci today. Its convenient for a liberal rich guy’s narrative, just like its convenient for liberal opportunists in other groups when all their revolutionaries and leftists die young.
I’m pretty involved in the community and what makes me so sussed is all the older LGBT people hating literally everyone in government from that era, but these guys are ready to blow Fauci every day and have written dozens of long-winded articles doing precisely that.
I don’t think there is a reason trust Larry Kramer less since AIDS didn’t kill him.
