Know Your LGBT History - Beverly Hills Cop

Eddie Murphy is a skilled, versatile actor and should have gotten at least an Oscar nomination for Beverly Hills Cop (1984).

However, having said that, it is worth noting that while I enjoyed this movie immensely, the following scene was just damn ugly.

Granted, to some it's probably not a big deal. However I don't see anything funny with connecting lgbts with sexually transmitted diseases just when the AIDS crisis was gripping the nation.

Just goes to show that even though we have a long way to go, lgbts have come a looong way since 1984:
