Wyoming Bar Sells Out of Violently Anti-LGBTQ Tees Bragging to ‘Shoot’ Gay People as a ‘Cure for AIDS’


GOP Lawmakers Silent

A bar in Cheyenne has been selling tee shirts depicting an old man pointing a gun straight ahead, and emblazoned with the message: “In Wyoming we have a cure for AIDS, We shoot f—in’ f——.”

“We are sad to say that we failed to convince a local bar to pull these shirts from circulation,” Wyoming Equality says in a Facebook post. “We hoped that they would choose to stop selling them when they realized the harm it did to the LGBTQ community and those living with AIDS. We are not sharing the name of the business because we do not want them to gain notoriety/ sell more shirts off the pain of our community. It is a sad day.”

The Casper Star-Tribune reports “Sara Burlingame, executive director of Wyoming Equality, said she approached the bar’s owner twice and asked him to stop selling the shirts. The owner refused, she said.”

They add that a “person who answered the phone at the Cheyenne bar refused to put the Star-Tribune in contact with the manager or the owner when contacted for comment.”
