When I was in 11th grade, my AP English class had a discussion about AIDS for some strange reason.
We discussed how it is often referred to as the gay disease and as the discussion progressed, I decided to share my confusion.
“But I thought it was called the gay disease because when you get AIDS, it turns you gay?” – Me
“You thought all the drug dealers.. and MAGIC JOHNSON were gay?” – Relatively smart boy in my class
Good times.
