More like an azzhole than a vagina.

Just pointing out the obvious.

If it evokes anger in the community, then it is effective art.

And here the first thing that popped into my mind was “damn, that’s a big donut”.

The fact that it’s supposed to remind me of those who died of

A——nally
I——nflicted
D——eath
S——entence

didn’t even occure to me.

Who paid for it? I rather object to public funds being used for a stone emblem of an anus. If it was private funds I do not care but it should not be put on public land.

Frankly, I'm offended that anybody should even think of commemorating the people who propagated that hideous disease among us. They were perverts, not heroes. Like building a monument to Satan, or Hitler.

The controversial sculpture, meant to honor those who lost their lives to HIV and AIDS

Why do we honor those that died of a self inflicted disease? It would be just as logical to erect a giant bottle of Jack Daniels for those that died of cirrhosis. Jack Daniels is fine sour mash bourbon and I recommend it highly but in moderation.

As though they did something noble. No, they just had multiple sex partners up the ***.

So much more artistic than those statues to Confederates, and the Founders.

A giant mint.

Once seen as “the backside of a human being” you can’t see it any other way, and from any angle.

You just can not make this stuff up.

We need to get one of these smart AI computers to tell us what’s gonna happen next.
