Are you serious? Is your argument that large groups of homosexual men don't engage in risky sex with multiple people or that we just shouldn't mention it? Because Monkey Pox doesn't care either way. The disease has been linked to gay men having sex with each other in 2 continents, why deny this? Why not amplify it so the population at large can avoid a panic and the affected community can arm themselves with this knowledge and take precautions?

You talk with seeming disgust about sex, I think you are.
>And allowing stigma to influence public policy decisions is harmful to the far greater majority
Yes, because if there is one thing straight people are compared to gay men it's stigmatised.
>Hiding details about outbreaks to avoid offending protected classes
The information isn't hidden - it's on the front page of BBC News in the UK where the disproportionately higher cases for gay men is. It's just unlike you they're aware that it's not a gay plague
