https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/transmission.html I’ve read and researched. And I remember how HIV/AIDs started and spread. And how it was characterized and how that kept funding down, and how it demonized gay men. How something starts and is portrayed is not the full story. ( I’m queer and my straight, married dad died of AIDs early on and got no support and had to hide it from neighbors). I don’t want to see a repeat of the “it’s just a gay disease” mentality being pushed.

You realize it's not an STD right? any skin to skin contact, even prolonged contact with fabric/towels/bedding can spread it. And it may also be spread by air ( they are still studying). Any one can get it, and its not just thru sex, so don't use this as an excurse to demonize the gay community ( again).

I was overthinking the same question 😉 my cruise leaves Sunday, so antigen test Friday earliest or PCR Thursday earliest. Anytime on those days. Correct?

Is the synagogue walking distance from the ship?

Hate- sitting with random strangers while I eat. Give me a table for 1 and a kindle. Hate- belly flip contests and other audience participation ( the quest!). Like the bwy shows, good rock bands, or otherwise a quiet spot to read.

I’ve gone to them. No host so it’s hit or miss, using gaydar to figure out who is there for the meet up. i’m leaving my partner home too, I prefer cruising solo so I can do whatever, whenever.

Hello! I will happily join you for any cocktails. ( and hot tubs!).

We’re here, we’re queer!! Well I’m here and I’m queer. Anyone else on this cruise?
