So you’re for the Taliban’s criminalization of homosexuality? As well as the punishment? No fault with that?
Did I say that specifically? No. I also said that I saw a benefit to the lack of whorish behavior by women in Taliban culture but also saw a problem with the abuse of women.
Define "whorish" behavior. Wearing hi-heels and nail polish? (Btw, punishment for those "violations" is anywhere from a public beating to stoning...Apparently, you seem ok with that)
It is pretty absurd to read that and assume that I would approve of all kinds of abuse because I saw positives elsewhere of a society which doesn't openly promote or display sexualiztion to the public. That also has nothing to do with Monkeypox.
What sort of public display of sexualization are you referring to?
And the big thing you're missing is the enforcement and punishment factors of just being gay, not even "displaying" it, just being accused of it. Same for women who violate sharia law.
When you say "
The Taliban doesn't seem so bad. Aside from the treatment of women as a culture, I don't see many faults with them otherwise.
- They have zero open homosexuals or lesbians, and no trannies"
How do you think that's enforced? How do you think that is punished? Are you ok with the sharia laws, but not ok with the enforcement/punishment? Or are you ok with that too and don't see "many faults" with it?
If HIV Magazine considers HIV a gay disease because places in America have 65 or 75% of HIV cases involving homosexuals, Monkeypox is certainly a gay disease at 98%.
Not so fast, the same magazine you cited has an opposing article:
Patient Zero Theory is Debunked—Yet Myth of HIV as Gay Disease PersistsThe Patient Zero storyline also fostered the belief that HIV was a gay disease, when we now know that anyone can be impacted by HIV, regardless of your sexual orientation.”I would consider it not to be a gay disease if it affected that community more along line with their distribution by percentage among the public and wasn't wildly disproportional.
And here's the point you're missing, which the quote above from your HIV magazine points out: Anyone can get MP, not just gay people. Monkey Pox is agnostic to race, creed, and sexual orientation.
For it to be a "Gay Disease", that would literally mean only gay people can get it. Not true. Anyone can get it. Just like gay, straight, or whatever can contract HIV.
98% is certainly a high percentage. But 2% are not gay. Meaning that gays are not the only group to be exclusively impacted. Same reason TB is not called a 'Black Disease' even though it is disproportionally present in that community. Even worse, Asian Americans clock in at just 5.7% of the population yet account for a whopping 35.8% of TB cases. Now that is definitely wildly disproportionate. So why don't you refer to TB as an 'Asian Disease' even though non-Asians can get it too? Just like Monkey Pox.
