'When reports of monkeypox in the U.S. began cropping up, I found how badly I needed a queer voice in science to trust,' writes mjcolbert16. ''Virology' author reluctantlyjoe has an important message: We need to care.'
says you write with the “voice of that teacher who makes science cool, even radical.” How were you able to translate the sciences so well for the general public? What did writing this feel like?
Science obviously informs my writing. If I'm going to sit down as a queer person and write about the experience of having lived with HIV When you say something like “gay sex fuels monkeypox,” you're not pointing at systemic failures, you're not pointing at the fact that my friend tried to get vaccinated and could not get vaccinated, had a hard time getting testing, had a hard time getting treatment —it took him ten days after his test to get treatment — you're pointing back to the individual behaviors as the cause of an epidemic, and that is part of why my friend felt bad.
When I finished grad school and I stayed in New York as opposed to moving to Chicago, where my number one job was, I had just gone through a really horrible break-up, and I could feel all the judgment of all the straight people in my life being like, “You don't have a partner. Why don't you just move to Chicago?” I couldn't express it this way at the time, but I was staying for my friends, and it was completely a decision that I felt self-conscious about.
In a COVID diary on March 9, 2020, you wrote, “We need to have the conversations that our elected leaders are not. We–queer people–need to know the risks of our events and gatherings, that they might harm us or those close to us.” What questions do you think queer people should continue asking in the face of this monkeypox outbreak, and future outbreaks?
