    Just like his brother. He has a chapter in his memoir dedicated to how AZT was never toxic. Here he says over half of PWA can't because "it's far too toxic". He also has a chapter dedicated to how he advised his dinner party bestie Fauci on how to navigate the pandemic. This was the same day as the Storm the NIH protest. He deserves credit where it's due but I still liked him less after his memoir.

    it is quite telling that so few lgbt people know who Peter is or what Larry himself and those in ACT UP did which saved lives -

    I distinctly recall some interview in which the supposedly liberal Tom Braden made a condescending homophobic remark to an activist. He said something like "This man is gay and Feel very sorry for him." It was some really tone deaf comment, but I can't find it on KZread. I'm not sure if it was in this interview or not.

    Tom Braden said, "...you have the AIDS virus..." on "Crossfire". kzread.info/dash/bejne/jIl3t6N-itaopbg.htmlsi=B-i4g1yM9DFYIP5t&t=12
