Do most straight people think that ALL gay people are HIV positive? |
The other day, I saw a gay AIDS activist wearing a T shirt saying "We all have AIDS," which of course, is far from the truth. That T shirt takes several giant steps backward in trying to convince people (gay and straight) that gay does not necessarily equal AIDS. I think the "we" in the shirt meant all men/women/other be they straight/gay/bi can have aids. Which most semi-intelligent people are aware of nowadays. i think the shirt is geared more toward unity...if one of us has aids we all have aids...figuratively. No, I think most educated people know that not all gays have AIDS or HIV. Perhaps older people who haven't grown up with AIDS or HIV information might think so, but from the 80's on, I think most people know the truth. I know in my circle we do not have that small of minds. And, I am in the midwest bible belt. No. I am straight. Hiv has turned into a heterosexual disease. This is because gay people are more aware and protect themselves better. More straight people contract the disease and spread it at much higher rates then homosexuals. that's an interesting point you brought. Well I don't think that all gay people are HIV+, however, if a gay person turned out to be HIV+ I wouldn't think it's strange. I guess it's stereotyping. No. No, I don't... No. Are all gays paranoid? I am straight, don't know any gays, but crap like that is so not needed in the world right now. I wouldn't think just because you are gay you all have AIDS. That's just mean that people think like that. Not all straight people think that ALL gay people are HIV positive, some of them who do are usually close-minded homophobic people. While I agree with what you're saying that gay doesn't necessarily equal AIDS, I think maybe that gay AIDS activist who wore that t-shirt that said "We all have AIDS" was actually meant in jest and wasn't meant to be taken seriously. Howver, with a slogan like that I can see why someone would misconstrue it to believe that the activist believed that. |
