The article is about the slogan, isn't it?  It is false and misleading
to name the article "Homophobic hate speech" when it is really about the
slogan "AIDS Kills Fags Dead".

The real question you should be asking is: is such an article encyclopedic,
and does it belong in the Wikipedia at all?  I respectfully submit to
the jury that such an article is NOT encyclopedic, and does not belong
in the Wikipedia.

Denis Diderot is rolling in his grave at your descration of his legacy.
You Wikipedians would have crucified Samuel Johnson long ago, had he
shown up and tried to contribute.  Shame.
