Advocates in the San Francisco Bay Area – who survived the epidemic and had watched friends and loved ones die in great numbers – consider the Reagans, through their inaction, responsible for the death of thousands of LGBT people.

So it was Reagan's job to save them from themselves?

It is always someone else's job (and money) to save leftists from their own hedonistic or careless choices.

IIRC the Reagan administration wanted to close the bath houses to stop the spread of HIV/Aids. But the gays went all anti-homophobic and protested that they were being singled out, so the closings never happened. They were free to die as this chose...

Just think how many of their lives would have been spared.

Some of the lies of ActUp’s Larry Kramer.

And as I recall, wasn’t there a big todo about either a PSA, or a donation by Reagan that the left buried/declined, because they didn’t want to acknowledge his contribution?

They apparently think so. That’s why they’re such good Democrats. They never take personal responsibility for their lives and insist that it’s the government’s and everyone else’s job to fix all their problems.
