We laugh, but Keith will outlive all of us.
Am willing to bet money he’s had AIDS/HIV since the late 1980’s it just now caught up with him. Only so much those drugs can do.
He lived by the sword he died by the sword.
Not like we don’t all know this. We remember several times in his life he was arrested for trying to have butt sex in mens bathrooms.
If he did not want to be remembered for a FDRQ he should not have lived like one.
“.. I was expecting a celebrity death on today of all days and was checking the news outlets..”
Me too but I was expecting it to be Carrie Fisher after her severe heart attack.
Dude!!! That is sooo bad, but funny as hell!
Same here and you know what??? I’m sooooo glad Carrie is doing better!!!!
Brilliant rationale for disgusting posts on someone’s death.
Keeping it real AND Classy, huh?
I’m glad it’s not Carrie Fisher.
The thought if George having butt sex in the bathroom....really repulses me.
Not having Princess Leia for the next Star Wars movie....oh that would suck.

Cause of death, a fragment of underdone potato.

Agreed. Liberals and the media don’t want to associate AIDS with being gay. They would rather people die than stigmatize the gay lifestyle.
Keith may out live the roaches.
Another death pointing to the fact that the homosexual lifestyle shortens life by at least ten years.
IIRC one of his past lovers did die of AIDS, so odds are he eventually got it.
He’s never gonna dance again.
Wait a minute!!!!....
Sooner Gal???
OK. Next thread will detail the superiority of “I’m a Jayhawk” fight song over the 8 repetitive notes of “Boomer Sooner” with a link to the 1988 National Hoops Championship.

Holy cow FD2003 -— I almost fell out of my silla when I googled and found that the three cities you mentioned are in LA County! That’s comedy, seriously. Actually we are living at 3400m where we have lots of LLAMAS, not MAMAS. Down here we are short of breath and light headed because of the lack of oxygen, not the odor coming from next door.
Pretty much with any disease your chances increase in getting it with the number of times you are exposed to the risk. Promiscuity which gay males are known for.
Not including of course sodomy is completely abnormal. The human body is simply not designed for it. Some believe that cancer us caused by viruses and even bacteria which can be introduced through anal sex.
Yes, the Gay male lifestyle is a lot riskier than hetero.
If you die and you are unsaved, it will be anything but peaceful. I don’t know what his spiritual status was at the time of his death, but if I were a betting man,,,,
