    It already is.

    UK right wing pundits and twitter nobs are constantly bringing up bi and gay men specifically with the wink wink nod nod that its the gays who are spreading monkeypox despite there being a tiny amount of cases and these cases being localised to those communities.

    It spreads through touch, spit, coughing and sneezing. None of those things are unique to the queer community.

    It’s slowly being rebranded as a gay male disease similar to AIDS. Several academics have already pushed back against this narrative but when has that stopped the reactionary heterobbq+ gang from pushing their homophobic narratives down idiots throats.
