      “AIDS is God’s Punishment” on a bunny sign meme but it’s Politico and it’s an article and, OH MY GOD, it’s 2018.

      NOTE FOR THE POLITICO OF THE FUTURE: For me, write: “Looking for a decadent homosexual lifestyle, he often ended up eating ice cream instead.”

      Note: As people have mentioned, they removed the language and eventually added an editor’s note. But the language of the editor’s note is SO PASSIVE AND DISTANCING: “was deemed insensitive.”pic.twitter.com/J8qH79Jh74

          The language was deemed insensitive. Politico was deemed obnoxious. I was deemed tired.

          That's the kind of language I'd hear listening to Focus on the Family radio as a kid in the 80s, they need a better editor's note than that

          Politico translation: Our gay readers and their friends are just so sensitive. Sheesh. [But indeed they needed to fix this. It was shockingly rude and reprobate of them to have not edited it in the pre-print draft!]

          This is a publication that offered, as its 1st headline ever, a false claim that John Edwards was suspending his campaign bc his wife Elizabeth's cancer had returned.
