In other news, Palm Springs is also planning a slavery memorial in the shape of a giant pair of lips and a watermelon.

The sculpture on the right in OP's link is definitely a butthole. WTF?

For the people complaining, the irony seems lost on them.

Paint it dark.
If you don't like it, you can always bleach it.

The front side is supposed to symbolize the infinitely diverse communities infected with HIV/AIDS and the back side is supposed to symbolize an anus, the portal through which they were infected.

It needs to be in the shape of lipstick. Everyone knows that's how you "celebrate" AIDS.

I wrote the organization just to add another voice of gay outrage at this ridiculous piece of assholery.
Idiots. New public art needs to be banned at this point.

I still say after the big Marilyn statue in PS that they should have a life sized and anatomically correct Tom of Finland statue.

The part where the hole is should have a fist. It could represent determination.

It should be a prolapsed hole, to more accurately represent the population of Palm Springs

r26 If they really wanted to represent the population, they'd enclose it in a disposable diaper.

It doesn't make me think "butthole" but it also doesn't make me think "memorial." It looks like a giant donut, bagel or Lifesaver candy.

It's utterly asinine.
Come on, go back to the drawing board. The current proposal is inappropriate and invites disparaging criticism.

It’s a portal that leads into the butthole of John Malkovich.

The sculptor didn't see the resemblance to an anus? Was this sculpture first a drawing on paper before creating the prototype? Didn't the sculptor or the committee show the drawing to anyone or see the resemblance before displaying this thing?
Besides, could there be a little more connection to AIDS and the lives lost? The current prototype is just too weird and obscure in addition to bordering on obscene.

^^Lastly, isn't it a bit late to the party for an sole AIDS memorial now? What about a gay memorial sculpture dedicated the struggle for equality and including a symbol of the AIDS crisis within the sculpture?
