But the feelings of people with HIV are so much more important than a person's right to not be willingly infected with a horrific disease. It hurts their feelings so bad when you tell them spreading disease is wrong. You HIV-phobe.

I was once called “HIVphobic” for criticizing Danny Pintauro for offering to bareback on Grindr long after he seroconverted and for making his infection all about himself and not those he infected. You should be afraid of a disease for which there is no cure. Even if it is no longer a death sentence, it is still Life in prison without parole and Big Pharma is the warden. So yes, I am afraid of HIV for the same reason I am afraid of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

I also criticized him for being a phenomenally lousy actor in addition to harming other Gay men. Seriously, I have seen better acting in community theater. Does saying so make me a bigot? No. If anything, it’s homophobic to expect me or other LGB individuals to support bad Gay art just because Gay people created it.
