Why Is Saying Monkeypox Is a Disease Primarily Suffered by the Homosexual Community a Problem?

Our society suffers from a very odd disease, and no, it’s not Monkeypox or COVID-19. It’s the absolute refusal to admit the truth when it’s staring you in the face.

For a time, you couldn’t say the vaccines didn’t work. You couldn’t even discuss how other medications might help your COVID-19 infection along. You can’t call a man a man when he thinks he’s a woman. You can’t even call a recession a recession.

Now, our society refuses to label the monkeypox outbreak what it is; a disease primarily suffered by the homosexual community.

Here are the facts.

According to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine, the monkeypox virus is indeed making its way across the nation 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.

That leaves a whopping two percent of cases being suffered outside of the homosexual community. This easily makes it a disease that you really don’t have to worry about unless you’re sexually active in the gay community, or attending gay orgies like the kind California State Senator Scott Wiener encourages you to go to.

Monkeypox is, according to the study, a venereal disease. Yet, the left is pretending this is a pandemic that everyone is in danger from just like COVID. President Joe Biden said that “everyone should be concerned about it” and California declared a state of emergency for extra monkeypox fear-porn.

Why do this, and moreover, why make it taboo to mention that this is primarily a disease of the gay community?

The only good reason I can think of is that they’re looking to scare people back into thinking that increased government oversight over everything is necessary, just like in the days of the pandemic.

But even that is scraping the bottom of the barrel. It wouldn’t be long before word that it’s a venereal disease of the gay community spread and the people who suggested lockdowns look like abject fools. I know Democrats are desperate for something to bring people back into a pandemic mentality but this is just sad.

No, you don’t have to worry about monkeypox unless you plan to have sexual relations with strangers in the gay community. Any and all panic about monkeypox should be shrugged off, and maybe even laughed at.
