    Can you staple this to the top of the forum? That would be great.

    I noticed that I was about 5 pages behind and strolling thru those pages, I then noticed I hadn't missed anything

    you guys suck; and for some reason, Sly seems to think he's a moderator when he should really be busy posting funny memes

    it's going to be a long fucking spring

    Anthony Fauci calls out “extraordinary stigma” gays face while standing right in front of Mike Pence

    [​IMG]

    Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the most prominent members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, praised the “incredible courage and dignity and strength and activism” LGBTQ people showed during the HIV epidemic in the face of “extraordinary stigma.”

    He made the comments while standing right in front of Mike Pence, one of the U.S.’s best known sources of anti-gay stigma.

    Fauci was talking about how coronavirus will affect certain disadvantaged communities more than the general population, particularly African Americans. In Michigan,     for example, African Americans represent 35% of all coronavirus cases and 40% of coronavirus deaths even though they only make up 14% of the state’s population.

    Since Fauci, as one of the country’s foremost infectious diseases experts, has spent the better of his career fighting HIV, he made the connection to how that disease affected LGBTQ people.

    “During that time, there was extraordinary stigma, particularly against the gay community,” Fauci said at a press conference yesterday, as Pence looked on. “And it was only when the world realized how the gay community responded to this outbreak with incredible courage and dignity and strength and activism — I think that really changed some of the stigma against the gay community, very much so.”

    “When you’re in the middle of a crisis, like we are now with the coronavirus, it really does have ultimately shine a very bright light on some of the real weaknesses and foibles in our society.”

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    In an ideal world, I'd probably agree with you. It's just that it gets hard to decide what counts as "pointless bickering" and what doesn't. Taken as a long string, it becomes obvious, but it's somewhat subjective as it's starting out and there would be a lot of claims of bias as to what was removed as pointless.

    Mike Pence is a vile and despicable human being. People don't realize this enough through the smoke of crap that Trump raises in his wake.

    But I don't think people yet realize the strength in the message that Fauci conveyed there right in front of one of the most homophobic people in the country. This should be remembered.

    Maybe we could get back to discussing the coronavirus situation instead of other posters. I'd hate to have to close a thread with almost 5000 posts.

    Lol its funny how people got duped by trump. He is the worst thing to ever happen to this country.

    Sucks it took a pandemic for some people to realize this when others realized it when he uttered one word.

    You got played. I Will take your apologies though, and I got a buffet of crow for all of you that were wrong.

    Governor of Arkansas refused to put shutdown order and overturned all local shutdown orders in the state. Kansas is a conservative state with a Democratic governor. The Republican controlled state legislature overturned her ban on large gatherings. Ohio and Maryland have Republican governors who are trying to control the spread of COVID-19 but it still seems many Republicans are in total denial.

    Interesting development today that they've determined that most of the cases in NY came from Europe, not China.

    Maybe not surprising, really, given that there is more travel between NY and the EU than between NY and China.
