Come on Colorado!
So remember when I said that I wasn’t getting near politics, cause I’d start throwing things? Well, it’s been an interesting week. This is the third politically oriented blog I’ve written in a row, and I have yet to throw anything (despite being sorely tempted to do so after North Carolina’s ruling).

Homophobia’s Legacy
20 years ago today, Magic Johnson came out as having HIV. It created a seismic shift in how mainstream and conservative America prioritized the funding of fighting AIDS.

The greatest legacy of homophobia is NOT the prevention of marriage equality, it’s people in poor nations dying of AIDS without any medicine and dying alone, stigmatized by their communities. And it’s a legacy of gay men in New York City and San Francisco dying miserably and alone watching an American public watch them suffer and die without caring at all.

We’ve seen him deal with bullying and having his first relationship and trying to feel comfortable being himself. But I want to think for a moment, way back to the beginning, when we were watching him struggle with the decision to come out.
