More From Elton John

Well, we can't leave anyone behind just because they are sex workers or they are needle users, intravenous drug users, prostitutes.
Sex Drug Needles
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.
People Support Drug
People still think of aids as a shame-based disease, it's a sexually transmitted disease, and you're either gay or you're a prostitute or an intravenous drug user. and so a lot of people are still very bigoted about this disease. it's such a treatable disease. it's so - the end is in sight for this disease, medically.
Gay Thinking People
I am often asked why men don't get as worked up as they might about women - particularly poor women - having to use their bodies as prostitutes. because most men unconsciously experience themselves as prostitutes every day - the miner, the firefighter, the construction worker, the logger, the soldier, the meatpacker - these men are prostitutes in the direct sense: they sacrifice their bodies for money and for their families.

Summer Mother Laughter
The general population still thinks hiv is something that came in the 80s and went away, or that it only affects the gay population or intravenous drug users.

I could tell by his expression that once he got over his anger at me for keeping this secret from him, there was nothing left to talk about. he wasn't confused. he didn't need questions answered. he didn't ask why or how or with whom or whether i thought maybe it might just be a phase. he didn't ask who knew and who didn't know or whether i thought it might ruin my career. i was his sister and he didn't care whether i was straight or gay; it simply didn't matter to him.
Confused Gay Expression
