Taylor Lorenz pivoting to Covid hawkery in a ridiculous Taylor Lorenz fashion seems more likely to set up her haters to link that to everything else she represents in getting it all read out of the media mainstream than advance any of her own interests, but girl can’t help herself.
And it’s like she’s on a mission. “Insisting that people never breathe the same air again is just a natural extension of harm sensitivity norms in queer communities! You should apply your feelings re: one to the other!”
I will say though that yeah, maybe what we’re seeing now suggests that queer community norms around AIDS reflected that its harms were primarily to the small, embattled, and strongly distinct queer community itself, if having unprotected gay sex killed off random elderly people in 1987 you’d probably have seen bareback circuit parties for the purpose
Which I suppose raises the question: by “the pandemic isn’t over!” standards, are we still in the AIDS pandemic? There’s no cure or vaccine, you can still get it, still die of it, and that and other burdens are disproportionately borne by poor disempowered minorities…
At the same time, my county health department is putting up billboards like
Got AIDS? We can treat that now.
You’ll be clean enough to bareback!
