More From Elton John

People who bet against the internet, who think that somehow this change is just a generational shift, miss that it is a fundamental reorganizing of the power of the end user. the internet brings tremendous tools to the end user, and that end user is going to use them.

You know, it's a very treatable disease. you shouldn't feel ashamed. but i'm afraid that's carried on very much so from the first days of aids, when it was basically a gay disease. and then, of course, you know, it affected everybody.
Gay Disease Firsts
In my real life, both my bosses are gay. on the 'real housewives of atlanta,' andy cohen is gay, everybody at bravo is gay - we call them the gay mafia. over at 'glee' and 'the new normal,' my boss ryan murphy is gay. on the show, my boss, played by andrew reynolds, is gay in real life. i'm surrounded by all my gay bosses.
Real Gay Atlanta
The aids disease is caused by a virus, but the aids epidemic is not. the aids epidemic is fueled by stigma, by hate, by misinformation, by ignorance, by indifference. science has accomplished miracles over the past 20 years, and science can now end this disease - but it cannot end the epidemic. we need more than medicine. we can do something about these things. we need to speak out about the changes we need to make in our society.
Hate Ignorance Past
If people are encouraged to come out and say they're hiv-positive and they're given their treatments, then obviously, the people who are marginalized - like intravenous drug users, prisoners, people are made to feel less-than - if they're given the support of the government, and they're given the funding, then it's going to help solve the spread of aids and hiv in america.
