    I mean… Reagan not only cheered on the death of LGBTQ+ people, he actively caused many of those deaths because of his policy decisions during the AIDS crisis.

    Civility is out the window. But it was Reagan who threw it.

                I showed you evidence that his administration’s official position was that it was fine for LGBTQ+ people to die of AIDS. Quotes from his press secretary, the official who speaks on the administration’s behalf. Audio recordings of the room, which included Reagan, erupting into laughter when talking about gay people dying.

                I gave you more than enough evidence that he supported the death of LGBTQ+ people.

                Your argument is insufferably pedantic.

                    Faucci was heavily involved and he’s the one who rejected most the experimental treatment options.

                    Why I’m glad he retired. The man has done enough damage.

                    The aids epidemic was a scary time to grow up but I don’t once remember anyone cheering over it. People were scared. People that caught hiv were Ostracized from society

                    My guy prominent people were cheering it as late as the 1990s. But considering what you’ve said so far, I have my doubts that you’re here in good faith.

                    Do you take everything hyper-literally, or only when you don’t like what other people say?

                    Not they didn’t say it was ok they died. They said it was contained to the gay population. We didn’t have any good treatments for it at the time. You’re trying to twist things into something that was not said.

                    THEY LAUGHED AT THEIR DEATHS!

                    They made no effort towards intervention, and they withheld information that would have allowed LGBTQ+ people to understand what was happening, which could have been done long before treatment options were available. They have blood on their hands.

                    You say Reagan knew many gay people. I hope they spat in his face while he was alive, and pissed on his grave after he was gone.
