Op-ed: The Gay Truth About Ronald Reagan
For our fourth paper assignment, I decided to write about the AIDS crisis. As we already know President Reagan during the time did little to help during this epidemic. Below is an article from a very popular gay news source that I, myself trust, so you can only imagine how surprised I was when I came across this article. The writer asks, "Ronald Reagan failed to successfully combat the AIDS crisis, but does that make him antigay?" I honestly think it does. After reading the article, I was still not convinced. What are your thoughts? I thought this was worth sharing because it's always good to listen to differing opinions. I also thought it was interesting that it made it on Advocate and thought it might be worth checking out.
