Why would you admit that?
Thats just wrong.
I may or may not listen to Nickelback sometimes. But I would never admit it or about write it.
Thats just asking for a ban.

I took in the Huey P. Newton Reader a couple months ago and previously had no idea about this, pretty fucking radical at the time. I know James Baldwin and Angela Davis both had his ear and made an impact on his views but, damn what an extremely notable contrast to Eldridge Cleaver. Black Homophobia BTFO!

If you've never read To Die for the People, very highly recommend it. Huey Newton was not an idiot by any means, despite how people like to portray he and the Panthers today. He understood the issues between black people (and our intensely homophobic culture) and gay people, and stood to bridge those gaps via revolutionary theory. What most people don't know about the Panthers is that they were a threat because they were branching out from black people and scooping up everyone under a revolutionary mindset. Men, women, black, white, gay, straight, everyone. When Fred Hampton (another rising star in the party) was killed by Chicago police, two of the most outspoken groups about the killing were Mattachine Midwest and the Chicago Gay Liberation Front, both gay rights groups in Chicago. Bet they didn't teach that one in school.
 
Moon Man is an unofficial parody of Mac Tonight in which the character is depicted as advocating for racism, white supremacy, antisemitism, neo-Nazism, race war and genocide. The character originated in 2007 when internet user "farkle" created a site on the internet community YTMND, which showed a repurposed "Moon Man," liberated from his YouTube hell into a looping GIF that spews racist and homophobic hatred from atop a Big Mac. The character spread to websites such as 4chan and 8chan as part of the alt-right movement with songs made supporting police brutality and celebrating the Pulse nightclub shooting.

@Falsedawn Amazing post bro, thx for that. The ACT UP generation probably would've made stronger allies to the Panthers. The late 60s/early 70s gays had a lot of backbone to start throwing down, but even as publicized as the Stonewall stuff is, they weren't nearly as wild with General Kramer at the helm.

And The Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic is a 1987 book by journalist Randy Shilts. It chronicles the discovery and spread of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus with a special emphasis on government indifference and political infighting—specifically in the United States—to what was then perceived as a specifically gay disease. Shilts' premise is that AIDS was allowed to happen: while the disease is caused by a biological agent, apathy and incompetence toward those affected allowed its spread to become much worse.

The book is an extensive work of investigative journalism, written in the form of an encompassing timeline; the events that shaped the epidemic are presented as sequential matter-of-fact summaries. Shilts describes the impact and politics involved in battling the disease in the gay, medical, and political communities. The American Journal of Public Health characterized it as the first volume of the historiography of HIV/AIDS and because the content expanded into law and science, reviews were published not only in literary sources but legal and medical journals as well.

The NAMES Project Memorial Quilt is an enormous memorial to the lives of people who have died of AIDS-related causes. It was officially started in 1987 when thousands did not receive funerals due to both social stigma and the outright refusal by many cemeteries and funeral homes to handle their remains. Lacking a memorial service or grave site, the quilt was often the only opportunity people had to celebrate and remember their loved ones' lives. The goal of the project is to increase awareness of how massive the HIV/AIDS pandemic really is, and to bring support to those affected by it. Weighing an estimated 54 tons, it is the largest piece of community folk art in the world.
