In a way, it has- at least culturally. Fighting AIDS under the guise of saving the planet has led to a cultural shift of embracing homosexuality as a condition of normalcy derived at birth rather than being rightly defined as the behaviorral deviancy that it is.
Well, that’s a different kettle of fish and an interesting theory! I do think AIDs and the AIDs activists - hyped by the loathsome play “Angels in America” - wrecked havoc on our culture. A miniscule part of the population had that disease and yet zillions of dirty lucre was pored into funding a cure. Even then, it pissed me off!
