Remember the AIDS PSAs we watched as kids?
“Billy has aids. You cannot get AIDS from being in the room with Billy. The only way to get AIDS from Billy is to come into contact with his blood or other bodily fluids. If you see someone bleeding on the playground, don’t approach them. Get a teacher as quickly as possible. Safety equipment like gloves will prevent an HIV infection.”
I'm GenX and I still remember when they called it GRID and the American Government was like "Shrug. It's just killing the gays. No worries."
Reagan thought it was a blessing from his god.
I’m behind you there. I’ve never even heard the term “GRID”. I was born in 1985 though.
What a bummer that people can be so ugly. :(
Edit:
Just looked it up. Man. What a way to put stigma on everything all around. Jesus.
