Dumb, And Dumber.

As we all know from COVID disease doesn’t care about your politics, who you love, how you identify, or the color of your skin; it is an equal opportunity infection. 

This morning I wrote about the far-right attempt to cut our health insurance but it goes a lot deeper that that, they also want to deny us the medications needed to prevent the spread of diseases.

The conservative are trying to label Monkeypox as another “gay” disease but it is spreading through the whole population, it just came to America in the gay community first. Now the right-wing born-again’s are resurrecting their bigotry on those with HIV/AIDS.

Far-Right's 'Morality War' Now Has Its Sights Set on PrEP Access

The right-wing movement is really having a moment right now, from stripping the federal right to abortion to the prohibition of gender-affirming care in some states. Now, in the shadow of Roe v. Wade being overturned in June, the architect of a controversial Texas abortion law — a man who has already targeted marriage equality — is setting his sights on preventative HIV care. If he gets his way, Texans and other Americans could lose access to PrEP, leaving tens of thousands susceptible to a diagnosis and opening the door to the denial of HIV care.

Mitchell now represents several clients who oppose the Affordable Care Act’s mandate that insurance companies cover PrEP medications, among other things, in Braidwood Management v. Becerra, filed in federal court in the northern district of Texas in 2020.

You see in their any sex outside of marriage is a sin so therefore PrEP is an evil drug in that it promotes “gay sex” and sex outside of marriage.

“The PrEP mandate forces religious employers to provide coverage for drugs that facilitate and encourage homosexual behavior, prostitution, sexual promiscuity, and intravenous drug use,” the lawsuit says. Furthermore, the law requires religious employers and religious individuals who purchase health insurance to subsidize these behaviors to obtain health insurance, Mitchell argues.

Diseases is an equal opportunity infector, given a chance it will infect everyone!

If HIV/AIDS is no longer being control it will spread like wildfire through out the entire population!

But these people are on a mission from god! To wipe out all the gays*!

They have handed picked the court that they have filed in because the court is anti-LGBTQ+.

Caraballo warns that the circuit in which Mitchell filed the lawsuit and the case’s presiding judge, Reed O’Connor, — appointed by George W. Bush — are no friends of the LGBTQ+ community.

“When it comes to this kind of lawsuit, you have to know the context of where it’s filed,” Caraballo says. “[Conservative attorneys] know how to game the system to get particular judges like...Reed O’Connor.”

A coalition of conservative groups sued the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to allow them to discriminate based on religious grounds, and O’Connor ruled in 2021 that they could proceed. This was despite the Supreme Court extending employment protections for LGBTQ+ people a year earlier. O’Connor struck down Obama-era health insurance protections for LGBTQ+ people and ruled the Affordable Care Act was unconstitutional (the Supreme Court later reversed O’Connor’s rulings).

“You can file in a certain office, and you can get guaranteed a judge — and those judges have been stacked — that isn’t just conservative; these judges are reactionary,” Caraballo says. “So [lawyers] can be explicitly homophobic in their complaint and say, ‘Hey, this is our religious belief.’”

Caraballo notes that because PrEP isn’t just for LGBTQ+ people but for anyone at risk of HIV, the arguments “plainly fail.”

This is going all the way to the Supreme Court and the way the Republicans has packed the court system with Christian judges it is a crap shoot! I also foresee them attacking the free Monkeypox vaccines the same way.

If they win I foresee HIV/AIDS becoming wild again!
