In this episode of Try to Control Your Shock and Amazement…
Remember how the Democrat Party and left-wing media sock puppets did their damnedest to scare the bejesus out of us over COVID-19, including quadruple-vaxxed Joe Biden — who, along with “Dr.” Jill, has contracted COVID at least twice — hysterically warned the unvaxxed about their coming “winter of severe illness and death” that never came? And the draconian lockdowns? Me, too.
Contrast all of the above with the relative lack of specific hysteria over the monkeypox virus. So, why the liberal media’s difference in reporting on monkeypox vs. COVID? We know the answer to that question, as well.
As we reported in late August, CNN — AKA: The Most Trusted Name in News™ — went to painstaking lengths to completely ignore science while incredulously declaring: “Monkeypox is not a sexually-transmitted infection.” In addition to the blatant lie, CNN also forgot to stress that monkeypox cases overwhelmingly occur within the gay and bisexual men communities.
As we reported in early August, while the “mainstream” media has been remiss in reporting known scientific facts about the sexually-transmitted virus and downplaying or ignoring the most important facts about monkeypox. According to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine, the virus is indeed continuing to spread across the country, but 98 percent of those infected are either gay or bisexual men:
We report 528 infections diagnosed between April 27 and June 24, 2022, at 43 sites in 16 countries. Overall, 98% of the persons with infection were gay or bisexual men, 75% were White, and 41% had human immunodeficiency virus infection; the median age was 38 years. Transmission was suspected to have occurred through sexual activity in 95% of the persons with infection.
So what’s up with the lapdog media? Simple: The left is terrified of stigmatizing the gay and bi-sexual communities by reporting the “rest of the story” about the primarily sexually-transmitted disease.
Now, NBC News “science writer” Benjamin Ryan is bemoaning the heroic sacrifices [sarcasm] made by “gay men” over the fear of monkeypox in an article titled, How monkeypox spoiled gay men’s plans for an invincible summer, in which he laments, “Queer men across the U.S. talked to NBC News about the dates they never went on, the sex they never had and the gatherings they avoided due to the viral outbreak.”
Here’s how Ryan kicked off the piece, lamenting the plight of “queer men” from the outset:
For many gay and bisexual men, the sprawling and chaotic monkeypox outbreak has upended a summer that was supposed to be a well-earned opportunity — following the peak of the Covid crisis — to finally have some fun and revel with their gay brothers without the threat of viral infection hanging over them.
Not to nitpick, Mr. Ryan, but it wasn’t just gay and bisexual men who were looking forward to a summer free from the left’s draconian COVID lockdowns and mandates. But alas, Ryan noted, after Memorial Day, the GBTQ community’s dreams of “fun and reveling” were dashed.
Soon after Memorial Day, however, these men, as well as transgender individuals and other queer people — GBTQ for short, because lesbians’ monkeypox risk is remote — were met head-on with harrowing reports about monkeypox’s often devastating and disfiguring effects on the body. Next came anger and frustration over what queer activists characterize as the Biden administration’s fumbling initial response to the outbreak.
So Ryan set out to query gay and bisexual men about their feelings as a result of the unfortunate turn of events. “Over 100 gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people responded to an NBC News online survey, Ryan wrote, “seeking to learn about how monkeypox has affected their lives.”
What this diverse cross-section of the community most had in common were missed opportunities. They wrote about sex they never had, dates they never went on, and gatherings with friends they avoided.
Not to sound uncompassionate, but other than sex, why couldn’t those at risk have done the other things Ryan said they missed out on?
Michael, 42, explained:
Sex isn’t just a frivolous pastime. For many of us, sex has serious meaning, sex is one of the things that makes life worth living.
So how did Michael — who works in education react? Defiantly and angry:
I am not changing my behavior with an attitude of cheerful, take-one-for-the-team compliance. Instead, I find the situation fearful, miserable, and diminishing. I am experiencing this outbreak as a serious setback to something that is very important to me, namely sexual freedom.
Guillermo Rojas, 29, a Mexican citizen and public administration graduate student in New York City, told Ryan that life as he knew it “halted.”
Life has sort of halted. This was supposed to be the great summer that everything went back and opened.
So what has “halted” for Rojas, specifically? He was more than happy to share the details:
I’ve stopped going to sex parties. “I also stopped having sex with people who live off their OnlyFans. I additionally stopped cruising at the gym, I did not continue to go to Fire Island, and I stopped attending orgies.
Oh, the injustice! Oh, the humanity!!!
“I’ve stopped going to sex parties,” he said… “I also stopped having sex with people who live off their OnlyFans. I additionally stopped cruising at the gym, I did not continue to go to Fire Island, and I stopped attending orgies.”
Tragic

J.J. Ryan — presumably no relation to the NBC News reporter — a bisexual trans man “assigned” female at birth, “spent the height of the Covid pandemic transitioning.”
“I felt like I was just surviving before. I wasn’t really living,” said Ryan, 34 of his “pre-transition life.” “So I was really excited to get out and live my life — for this to finally be my ‘hot boy summer.’” Instead, he said, he has sadly “sharply reduced” his sexual exploration.
As was the case with COVID and any other virulent disease, RedState has reported factually on both COVID and monkeypox — including an emphasis on those most susceptible to contracting either or both, as in the following related articles.

reported as though this should just be ordinary, normal behavior.
A testament to what the entertainment industry has had on culture...nothing taboo or shocking about this sort of thing. And we wonder how we got the point parents will take their children to strip bars and give them dollar bills to put down the strippers underwear and film it on their phones and post on social media.
Of course you are “sanctimonious” or a “prude” if you point out this reality.
“Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?...”
They can call me sanctimonious and a prude to my face.
I will call them stupid and mentally ill to theirs.
Darwinian law is harsh. If you don’t procreate, nature finds a way to rid itself of non productive members of a species that consume without purpose.
Michael, 42, explained: “Sex isn’t just a frivolous pastime. For many of us, sex has serious meaning; sex is one of the things that makes life worth living.” …No, Michael; you are just an addicted pervert, rather. Without what you call “sex”, you would want to end your life?
That’s a nonexistent law.
This is the law of consequences of sin.
My gosh. The is by far the saddest thing I have ever heard. I can barely type this as my keyboard is soaked in tears.
“The horror, the horror”
These are the types of people who vote for the Democrat Party.
Once upon a time, when men were men and girls were girls, the female with her lesser libido would keep men in check. But when men have only other men they are getting jiggy with, there is nothing to slow them down. It’s full bore ahead. They feed off one another and it becomes an unhealthy, decadent, nasty obsession. All they can think about as evidenced in this article. With women’s “liberation” in the 60s and 70s pretending we are the same as men with the same appetites, decadence definitely made it’s way into the hetero community, too, but homo men can take it to a whole new level...on steroids. And we are all supposed to pretend like all this is good and normal and healthy. It’s not healthy for the body, mind, and soul for any human. It’s not healthy for our culture.
Then why have they taken over?
I thought surely this was the Bee.
Circuses make more sense than the news. I’m rolling my eyes so hard they may get stuck.
ASTUTE! BRAVO!
For many of us, sex has serious meaning...
Yeah, straight people just don't have a clue about sex, do we, Michael? Like your parents, maybe? There's seven billion people on the planet, bud, so somebody been doing some serious...well, you know.
What’s it been, two weeks since all this started? Can’t they just go on a break for a few weeks?

May the gay plague find and finish them all.
So much of the world’s people may freeze this winter and run out of food but GAY BATH HOUSE ACTIVITIES ARE NO LONGER FUN BECAUSE OF MONKEY POX.
What a tragedy that is.
