Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday declared the monkeypox outbreak a state of emergency in California, despite a gay, leather kink festival taking place in San Francisco over the weekend - a little more than a year since kids were banned from going back to school due to COVID.
California became the second state in three days to take the step, after New York, and Newsom said the declaration will help state officials better coordinate a government-wide response, seek more vaccines and lead outreach and education efforts on where people can get treatment and vaccination.
'We'll continue to work with the federal government to secure more vaccines, raise awareness about reducing risk, and stand with the LGBTQ community fighting stigmatization,' Newsom said.
Nearly 800 cases of monkeypox have been reported in California, according to state public health officials.
But that didn't stop the LGBTQ+ community on Sunday from organizing a street fair called 'Dore Alley' or 'Up Your Alley,' a leather and fetish event that is commonly compared to to the Folsom Street Fair — California's third-largest single-day and outdoor spectator event — as well as the world's largest leather event and showcase for BDSM products and culture.
Kinky games and street vendors selling leather apparel including chokers, collars, whips and bondage kits are a common at the venue, which mostly attracts gay men out of any demographic. A sound stage was also set up for festivalgoers to dance
'Public health officials are clear: stigma is unacceptable and counterproductive in public health response,' Michelle Gibbons, executive director of the County Health Executives Association of California said. 'The fact is that monkeypox is primarily spread by skin-to-skin contact and sharing objects like bedding or towels, without regard to sexual orientation or gender identity.'

Our so called government, the Brandon administration, allowed Monkeypox to be brought into America and now children are catching this homosexual virus. Great job Jo Jo. America is Numbah One in Monkeypox. IDIOT!
Were attendees required to show proof of vaccination before they were ____ed in public?
Why cant Newsome just tell the faggots to stop with the anus sex, to flatten the curve?
You’d hope but Newscum is owned by Lib World Orderites.
QUICK- EVERYONE PANIC! Nearly 0.0001% (or whatever the minuscule % is) of the population got monkey pox from having gay sex predominately!
Stupid and evil is a very deadly combo.
Why cant Newsome just tell the faggots to stop with the drag strip shows
where they encourage LITTLE kids to stick dollars intheir/its/? G strings.
GayMonkeyPox spreads by contact.
Almost as if Gavin wants it to spread
especially to children.
A tacit admission that it is a gay disease, primarily sexually transmitted.
Now is the time to do all we can – government at all levels and Californians across the state – to flatten the penis. Personal decisions are critical, and I am I imploring every Californian to stay home if they can, wear a mask whenever they leave their homes, limit mixing, practice physical distancing and no...... well you can guess what needs to stop......
After all it’s for the children!
I know: let’s require everyone who isn’t gay to wear condoms in public. The women? What’s a woman?
The original article at the Daily Mail has a lot of comments in agreement with the article. Happy to see this.
Wish we could have more conservative publications like this in the U.S.
