I'm older than Aaron (smarter, too) and I remember when I first heard of AIDS. It wasn't the 80s and it wasn't the US. AIDS came marching down the Kinshasa Highway starting in the 1920s as the jungle was cut down by colonialists
The company I worked for in the 80s was majority gay. People I had come to love were fading away and dying before our faces. This is not something for that conspiracy spreading jackass Aaron Rogers to belittle.
