True.

Badger, his impact

A famous straight guy claiming he has HIV. I'm sorry, you can hate him everything you want but this guy has some balls and is actually doing something to eradicate the horrible and very damaging gay-hiv stereotype.

This is true. It's gonna be no more than a media circus, but the people who are truly affected will not benefit. They may in fact become more stigmatized and rejected.

Magic Johnson was.

What? He only came out because he was going to be put on blast. Otherwise, he would have still hid it and passed it on to someone else.

You can say something similar for Caitlyn though

Magic Johnson 1991

Charlie only came out because he was going to be outed. He has zero balls.

Yes it is, but the more valuable example is Eazy-E in Straight Outta Compton imo. Charlie's reckless crazy life is hard to empathise with for most people.

Definitely. They're good gateway speakers for people unfamiliar with these causes but they're not authentic representatives for the groups they speak for, they're too privileged.

Not comparable.

Lmao what? He slept with 5,000++ women and men, with no protection and infected lots of ppl (probably on purpose)
He confirmed every single stereotype there is.

And yea, the comparison in the OP is kinda accurate. Two white men using social issues as a scapegoat for their own messy lives

A lot of people are focusing on the allegations he's been sleeping around unprotected without disclosing his status. This isn't going to break down any barriers.

As for Caitlyn, whilst she's still dropping lines like "the hardest part of being a woman is deciding what clothes to wear" she ain't doing much good either!
