Experts worry monkeypox disinformation will harm LGBTQ+ community
The Hill ^ | August 6, 2022 | Brooke Midgon

Three months since the first case of monkeypox was reported in the U.S., disinformation and harmful stereotypes targeting gay and bisexual men – who are most likely to become infected – continue to run rampant, causing some to worry that the spread of the disease will further stigmatize and isolate an already-marginalized group.

Upwards of 7,000 cases of monkeypox have been reported in the U.S. since May, afflicting mostly men who have sex with men.

I think these journalists found articles from the early 80s and did a Find and Replace of AIDS by monkeypox. I wonder how the L's in LGBT feel getting lumped with the G's? "(A)lready marginalized"? What a ridiculous characterization. Was the author in the Amazon jungle during the month of June? This group has been so overexposed that people now think the G population is much larger than it actually is. How about the ferocious stigmatation of people who refused to wear masks or be shot up with the vaccine? Just my obervation, but people are pushing back against this narrative. It is impossible to ignore the glaring contradiction between what the so called authorities are saying now compared to COVID.

Probably the same former perts who told us all about the Chinese flu.

Well, you have to understand.

Truth is mis-information — if it contradicts The Party.

Seems to me the most harm is being done by G’s passing around disease within their own community.

The corrupt attempt to avoid consequences by hiding from the truth.

funny that the left isn’t making the gays wear butt masks and mandating the closure of gay-oriented businesses like bath houses!

LGBTQ+ community

It's not really a community. Most of the different letters of the Alphabet People detest each other.

Gay men and lesbian women don't hang out with each other. The Ts have taken control of everything and the lesbians really can't stand them. The Ts are trying to "trans the gay away" by sterilizing LG youth. And nobody really knows what the other letters mean, other than being explained to us by deranged teens on "Libs of TikTok" who have never had any sexual relations with anyone at all.

Not according to US Health Secretary Xavier Bercerra who "calls on every American to take monkeypox seriously.”

IOW, we are ALL equally at risk, not just men who frequent bath houses, orgies and engage with multiple partners, your children are equally at risk!

Same deal with the AIDS epidemic.

Monkeypox is spread by promiscuous homosexual sex.

That’s truth, not disinformation.

Marginalized? They get a whole month celebrating their “lifestyle”, with parades in big cities, and lots of corporate support. Where I live in MA, it seems that 90% of churches have rainbow flags.

Using “ disinformation “ as a means of spreading real disinformation.

You can’t define “ Orwellian “ any better than that.

Never take anything they say at face value.

They are worried that information will harm The Narrative.

“Monkeypox is spread by promiscuous homosexual sex.

Worth repeating.

The ‘experts’ don’t like it when the light is shined on the situation. Goes against their narrative and they lose control.

These poxy perverts are on their own. But really it is only the gay men in the LGBTQ++QUERTY universe who are getting the dreaded monkey pox. Which is disgusting with blisters all over their nether regions, but 99.7% non lethal. So what’s the fuss all about? The Dreaded Monkey is just another STD (one of hundreds) for the male homosexuals.

The KGBT has a month in which a several governments, media, social media, and multinational, multibillion dollar companies fly rainbow flags, or their company logo in a rainbow theme. Roughly 3% (maybe less) bullies the other 97% into accepting or at least tolerating their existence in countries that won’t throw them off roofs. They are not marginalized. If it’s gay or bi men who are most likely to a contract and spread this disease. If this isn’t about identity politics, then it should be about public health, which clearly it isn’t about public health at this point.

Churches throughout North America were shutdown during the Covid epidemic.

Has a single gay sex bar been shutdown due to Monkeypox?

Pathetic. There’ll be monkey pox drives and awareness month and pbs will sell “Hello Dolly” and “Brokeback Mountain” for $100 to benefit “victims” of MP. This is the new AIDS

Yeah, I can hardly sleep at night for worrying about Monkeypox tarnishing the golden glow around the LGBTQ community. I’m sure Xi Jinping shares my concern./s
