Yeah this and IIRC the "Folsom Street Fair" both make the regular Pride parade/festival etc look pretty tame. It's ridiculous.
I remember one year a citizen journalist went specifically with the idea of debunking that it's that bad (IIRC the FSF), and instead had a giant blog entry about how bad it turned out to be. Tons of pictures that were blurred out of public gay sex acts and shit.
As a gay who grew up in the 80s and saw the AIDS thing unfolding live as it were, it still fascinates me that AIDS isn't and hasn't ever been a thing in gay 'communities' outside the world's largest liberal cities. What could the additional factor be?
Do gays in "communities" outside large liberal cities (so, smaller and/or conservative cities) behave any differently in terms of monogamy, casual sex etc?
My gay friends (fairly limited sample size mind you, and at the time also in SF) all tend to be shocked at how few sex partners straights have comparatively....
I think that's a big, but not all, part of it, yes. There's no escaping the fact that outside of metropolitan centres, gays are far less promiscuous and polysexual, because the opportunity simply isn't there, for one, and two, when you don't live in that milieu, other things take priority in life like your home, family, career, hobbies etc than sex. I'd guess that'd go for straights too in a broad general sense.
But what's missing to make infection rates so different in cities? I don't know enough or have not yet seen enough research to have a decisive opinion on that one. However, what I do know is that the epicentre of the whole AIDS thing was always SF, where hedonistic life hasn't changed much to this day.
And thank you for being prepared to talk about the subject rationally and objectively, it really is appreciated. I purposely put 'communities' in speech marks because I can't stand the term and the way it attempts to put me in a box.
Indeed. And remember how just over two years ago, an outbreak of a disease in Wuhan, that Italian city, and NYC, became the otherwise invisible 'pandemic'. Just an observation!
As a straight and former liberal former ally who used to donate and feed you gays, what you just said is an absolute lie. AIDS was and is a thing outside large liberal cities. You just prefer to live near them because in addition to consuming semen and ass, you're the world's biggest consumers of mindless product - quiche, brunch, exotic coffee XYZ, kale flavored dog supplements, this flashy belt, that flashy pouch, these vegan pleather shoes, those hair gels and primp and pout and pluck items. So you like to be near them, the clubs, and endless "boyth".
It says "San Francisco AIDS Foundation," not "Foundation to End AIDS," so there you go. Kind of like Center for Disease Control.
Center for Disease C̶o̶n̶t̶r̶o̶l̶ Creation
Center for disease and control.
They want it spreading as much as possible before the mid terms
Just like Pelosi encouraging people to party in Chinatown at the beginning of covid. Same playbook, same goal.
Sodom lives on.
That ought to be actionable… except we’re talking about the craphole where it’s no a crime anymore to knowingly spread aids.

I remember being accused of being 'the person in a zombie movie who'd hide their bite wound' because I objected to mask mandates.
Yeah kill each other as quickly as possible we a got a country to save.
Oh yeah, good stuff, let the abnormals end themselves
One would think gays might be concerned about AIDS itself still.... 20% of gay men carry HIV but do not know they are HIV+.

It’s a media myth that conservatives are racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. it’s the left that are all those things, simply projection.
I never made that connection. Interesting observation!

Tell the truth. We're not all stupid here.
Go back to reddit.
Because that tactic works so well with herpes.
This type attitude is the reason why gays are more likely to get STDs.
That natrual selection, though 👌
Quite reality-based advice, no?
At times I almost think this is White Hats having a bit of Deus Vult fun
