Reagan allowed thousands to die without trying to help them because many of them were gay. He had blood on his hands , and when he met God I am sure he told him who he felt about his evil behavior. Reagan deserved more than the the finger.

(53,410 posts)Many millions of people in this world would not be dead from complications from AIDS if he had spoken out and directed government funding for the necessary research to find a cause and cure. Had he put the might of the US government behind finding a cure and educating people a lot of heartbreak and death could have been avoided. He even refused to utter the words or even acknowledge that AIDS existed.
And he came from an industry that relies heavily on the gay community, many who made him up and dressed him for his movies. As a matter of fact it was actors who fought the hardest to find a cure, starting with Elizabeth Taylor and Doris Day when she stood with Rock Hudson when he had AIDS. But not that B actor Ronald Reagan. Not him or his wife.

(4 posts)I really wish they would have not done that while there. It looks extremely childish and petty. Now the rethugs will use this against us. Much better ways to show your displeasure than at a formal event at the White House.
