Freddie's Beard in the Late 80s

Stick, I agree with what you're saying, but you're wasting your time trying to talk reason into some of these people.

Been here for years and years but only rarely post. Lately found the urge again but it will eventually fade away like it always does.

Also @Metropolis Haha I know man. Most people are so very unaware of the faults in their reasoning and viewpoints regarding simple freedoms, objective reality and themselves. But hey, as long as I can reach just 1 it was worth the effort.
I also see it as having fun and a way of training my English. Whatever comes of it, for me personally it's always of use in a way.

Well said Stick.

:-) Thanks!

Good point.

Good point.

Fear not! i cometh to tell you the truth.

Without wanting to cometh across disrespectful, Freddie looked rather hot and manly with that scruffy beard.
KS made AIDS visible and it was therefore an extra stigmatizing result of a malfunctioning immune system.

These days young gay men abdicate condoms in large numbers due to PrEP. Would these guys know how devastating the virus worked in the 1980's, they would probably not be as reckless.
Having said that, people should enjoy their sexual excitement. As long as they act responsible to each other.
There are already too many spoilers out there. Have just read that a LGBT-activist had been killed recently in Russia...

With a heavy heart,

I only know what Phoebe said about Freddie’s vision, and he did not go blind, but did have some loss of vision. There was a tabloid article about Freddie’s foot that Brian said was wrong and made up. There was a thread about this some while back. His foot was not “rotting”, he had a scar from having a KS lesion removed. This is also from Phoebe.

The tabloid versions of these issues persist. If it doesn’t come from someone who knew Freddie, it’s not believable.
