Jonathan Van Ness has slammed the U.S. government's response to monkeypox (MPV), saying that it is “fueled by homophobia and transphobia.”In the essay published on Monday in Time, Van Ness breaks down the moment the first case of MPV was confirmed in the U.S.

on May 18. Since then, the CDC reported 11,890 confirmed cases.As cases began to rise in June, primarily spreading among queer men, Van Ness believed the government's negligence caused cases to increase exponentially.“The U.S.
