Not since the gruesome heyday of HIV/Aids has a virus been such a threat to the lives of men who have sex with men. As monkeypox rips through queer communities, particularly in London, the cruel legacy of that pandemic casts an unnerving shadow. Conversations in LGBTQ+ spaces – from Highgate men’s pond in the capital to bars and clubs in urban centres – turn anxiously to this new threat.
Those who have had the virus share their experiences: some mild symptoms, others painful and miserable. WhatsApp groups ping with pictures of gay and bisexual men proudly displaying plaster-covered upper arms to confirm they’ve been vaccinated in a flashback to the peak of the national Covid trauma. On the gay hookup app Grindr, some use their profiles to announce they’re abstaining from sexual contact until their scheduled vaccination; in queer clubs, some choose to skip the ritual taking-off of T-shirts, fearing the prolonged skin-on-skin contact of an intimate dance will put them at risk.

it’s not so much a threat to their lives, as you said, but a threat to their appearance and desirability.
Even gay men are turned off by other men covered in bumps.
Thus, it’s an existential threat to them.
Not my circus, not my monkeys.
yeah, the CDC’s response was very inflated and run by, guess who! Anthony Fauci. That guy has always been a quack.
i didn’t say anything about the actual community because it doesn’t matter. It could be any group.
For them, that is indeed an existential threat.
They could call it - chimp cock or ape anus.
just ugh. I could not read this article, nauseous thinking about these queers.
Has anyone else noticed that Monkeypox was infecting gay men, but then jumped to KIDS?
Is anybody asking questions?
This is also true of the AIDS epidemic, incidentally. Unfortunately, that’s the disease with its own “civil rights.” Monkeypox is not there.... yet.
Almost 3x the wuhan and we shut the world down for that.
Will they announce it if Buttjuice contracts it?
God shall not be mocked!
“i didn’t say anything about the actual community because it doesn’t matter. It could be any group.”
My “no” was my answer to your question. I agree with you. It is not statistically reasonable ...
Is this where all the pregnant men the Dems talk about are coming from.
News report this morning a person asked “are we allowed to say that it’s predominantly in the gay community?”
I wish the news man Had responded “what are we? Russia? North Korea? China? Of course it’s OK to state a fact, even if others don’t like to hear it! “
One of my favs!
They should abstain from gay sex parties for two weeks to flaccid the curve.
Owen Jones turned gay after watching some dude screw his girlfriend and becoming more attracted to the guy lol
