@kumicota @georgia there are two separate issues. Piv sex can spread aids. But anal sex it’s much much much more transmissible. So it goes through those populations more. Not just gay men. But men who have been in jail and opportunistically have sex with other men but are not gay

@sun @kumicota @georgia this is why Health People call them “men who have sex with men (MSM)” in The Literature, because being gay is a lot closer to an ethnic identity one can opt into, whereas having sexual contact with men is a yes/no question based in physical reality. this is probably a tangent but whatever

edit: and the point is, having had sexual contact with men does not mean you consider yourself gay, “act” gay, or anything else

@clawfulneutral @kumicota @georgia yeah I get into this on here because people argue if you had sex with a man you’re gay, but it’s just a distinct social category from the gay community even if you think that
