How monkeypox spoiled gay men's plans for an invincible summer (NBC)
NBC News ^ | Sept. 2, 2022 | Benjamin Ryan

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.

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.

Romans 1:24-28
New King James Version

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

To “finally” have some fun?
It seemed like every month this year was marked with news about ‘Pride’ parades somewhere in the country.

Imagine how the Sodom and Gomorrah revelers felt about having their Summer of Sizzling Sin festival so rudely interrupted.

It’s almost like they’re doing something unhealthy & unnatural.
