"How Gay Men Saved Us From" "Mpox"

Monkeypox, that is.

Absolutely unbelievable. The NYT is a propaganda rag that occasionally does news.

Gay men, you see, are not responsible for the spread of monkeypox! Oh no! Perish the thought! Just as they bore no responsibility for the spread of AIDS!

But they are responsible for saving us from monkeypox!

Responsibility for bad things: no.

Responsibility for good things: of course!

Even if the good thing is..uh...somehow...like...not doing the bad thing quite so much...or...whateverTF it is that the NYT is trying to say here...

Oh, sorry--Mpox, of course! Because a mainly gay disease can't have a vaguely insulting-sounding name...that would be stigma or something...

Jesus Christ. How anyone can remain a progressive in the face of this kind of embarrassing bullshit I do not know. Pure, unmitigated cringe. This sort of bullshit has actually made me less sympathetic to the "victim" groups the left so passionately wants to valorize.
