How monkeypox spoiled gay men's plans for an invincible summer

Quote:

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.

This is so true. Covid vanquished. HIV vanquished. Hello monkeypox.

---

monogamous partnered gays have had an invincible lockdown and proceeded to have an invincible summer and will proceed to have an invinciblke autumb and winter, without any condoms, barrier foils, gloves and without spending $2000 per month or taxing their insurance for that sum to procure a pill that enables pursuing a vain, self centered hedonistic lifestyle of being promiscuous sluts which helped the sp[read of aids and now, monkeypox.

If you have to take $2000/month pills that have the net effect that you can engage in orgies without catching HIV but through being a vector of the infected sperm that is on you or in you are a risk to other participants in the orgy due to insisting on unsafe sex, your poverty is not one of money but one of lack of care for your fellow man.

I'm as gay as they come, but i strongly dislike the shallow travesty of selfish screwing around and how my orientation is viewed as if that is its essence.

And then, after they went through 100 or 1000 men, when their bodies sag like their minds and hearts for having violated each other, themselves and what love is supposed to be, ah, then, they want a LTR. No thanks




I wish a segment of the gay community reacted more adeqately to monkeypox, to observing covid protocols when that was a thing, and to hiv in general.

And how does that equate to it being vanquished?

It wasn't in any way intended as an attack on Koods, just reactive to the whole situation within the gay community that we have a segment of superspreaders and how these are presented as being "the gays" much in the same way as that not every conservative is a racist ar-15 carrying conspiracy theorist.

Just as there is conservatism without the insanity, homosexuality isnt about leapfrogging from one bed to the other.

We (gays) were hit so hard by AIDS, its hard to stomach that some pop a pill and present it doesnt exist and bunnyhop away at orgies in violations of covid social distanhcing then and monkeypox now.

If you have to hop from bed to bed, use drugs to get it up because you are not turned on, use drugs to feel more euphoria and use drugs to not get aids.. Maybe Devoted Love is the way out, and drug enhanced fuckery is the way to deeper entanglement as you lower each other to rock bottom or an early grave.

Personal pet peeve. the same could be said of many energizer bunny straight people, but the difference is that society doesnt define their image of heterosexuality by these outliers.

Of course it does.
It means you didn't care enough to try to stop the spread of a highly infectious virus that was wreaking havoc on humanity and our economy and health.

False. Masking is an effective way to stop the spread.

I never said masking wasn't effective at stopping the spread.
Are you wearing your mask around everybody all the time, even at home?  I doubt you are.  That is when a vaccine would be effective... at the very least... (assuming you live with someone).

If you have an existential threat then do you use one or two tools to eliminate the threat if using two tools offers a much stronger chance/attack than using just one?  Of course you will use the two tools...

I am glad you at least are masking, that's more than what a lot of people are even willing to do.

At this point in the pandemic, I don't wear masks every time I go out since hospitals aren't filling up due to overflow of COVID19 patients, and I'm triple vaxxxed, but the convo mainly applies to during the peak of the pandemic and any
