I’ve been seeing this ad pop up on my feed A LOT recently. Neither of the people in this photo even have visible monkey pox… this just perpetuates the stigma that monkey pox is a ‘gay disease’, and if we really want to warn people about monkey pox we should show them what it actually looks like… I’ve been really disappointed to see this kind of homophobic propaganda on grindr, which I consider to be a safe space for me as a queer person. It’s important for people to know that anybody can get this disease, and it’s important for all of us to take precautions, especially when coming into contact with used linens or worn clothes, which are known to transmit the infection. This ad is the furthest thing from informative and I would really like to see it taken down.
