>In his 1983 essay “1,112 and Counting,” gay activist Larry Kramer accused then-New York mayor Ed Koch of allowing gay men to die of a disease that had recently been dubbed Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, writing that he had “not allow[ed] himself to be perceived by the non-gay world as visibly helping us.” (That Koch was less-than-forthcoming about his own sexuality adds another layer to the story.) That same year, Jimmy Picker made this astoundingly tone-deaf Claymation short wherein Koch (voiced by an impressionist) improvises his own version of Kander & Ebb’s hit song “New York, New York.” By the time Picker won his Oscar, at least 200 more gay men had died from AIDS-related illnesses.

Reddit hated it too: it’s near the bottom on their list.

It's hilarious to me how faggots always talk about AIDS like it's something that couldn't have been prevented if they didn't have anonymous sex with hundreds of strangers.

That was really good, too. Its' waaay more Oscar-baity than Sundae is, so I guess it's a little surprising this didn't win over that, but then again, the Oscar voters don't always reward the blatant Oscar-bait stuff.

The problem is it spread from the dirty faggots to the non-dirty faggots and the bisexuals and from there to non-faggot men and women. Diseases don't confine themselves to groups you don't like.
Good hygiene should be everybody's concern. That shit could just as easily have popped up among hetero swingers of the 70s as among the gays, they just got unlucky.
