I'm afraid that all of those things do connect.
If you don't believe that AIDS created a lot of homophobia and that had an effect on everyone's thinking, I just cannot help you.
Everyone at one time or another was homophobic.
So, that premise... I won't really disagree with that. It's the rest of what you said. There's no context for that one point, nor does that connect with anything else. You're going all late-stage John Nash here.
I went to school with 1rst generation Asians.
Many of boys that I went to school with were marginalized. Going to school with Asians changed the way that the white kids interacted with each other.
Normal looking boys didn't want much to do with a good-looking blond boy or a redhead because there was a 100% chance that they played with girls in grades 1 to 3.
Boys who liked girls were incredibly unpopular in grades 1 to 3. Most people don't know that.
Read my Downfall parody. You'll like it. I promise.
The thoughts don't connect, man. What does AIDS have to do with maturity? What does that statement have to do with unpopular kids getting to hang out with popular kids? What does that even have to do with X-Files--because of a shared interest?
Like, if these things do indeed connect then you're assuming everybody else is part of the conversation that you're keeping in your head.
