A very moving speech by Madonna last night in Mexico; talking about all the friends that she lost during the AIDS crisis in the 80s, how no one from the US government gave a damn about the illness that “only killed gays” or the marginalised.

    There’s a reason Madonna is a gay icon. She’s not just doing this now in 2024, but has been doing this and more since forever.

    she’s so right and i am glad she’s continuing to publicize the aids epidemic and the government’s role in prolonging it

    She’s been an advocate for AIDS/HIV patients, awareness and research long before it was politically expedient to do so.
