I’m sort of disappointed by the way this article chose to portray Elton. No where in his comments did Elton call on anyone to cancel DaBaby, he didn’t call DaBaby any names. He just said that DaBaby’s comments were homophobic and that those comments were based in misinformation. All of that is true. There is A LOT of stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS. Some contract through no fault of their own. Case in point, according to the CDC, 22% of all Paramedics have at minimum one instance annually where they are exposed to a blood borne pathogen.

This is a very sensitive topic and I am certain that there are many who will come across this article who have HIV themselves and be disappointed that someone who has a long history of fighting for the rights of patients with HIV is being portrayed in a way that makes his actions and words appear inappropriate or undeserved.

Just my thoughts
