At least nine men who attended the March 4-10 “Winter Party” LGBTQ festival in Miami have tested positive for Wuhan coronavirus. The annual gay festival in South Beach attracted thousands of visitors, among them a young physician from Boston:

Dr. Joshua Ellis, a medical education fellow and emergency medicine physician at Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, was excited to celebrate his 30th birthday in Miami with five of his close friends.
They had been planning the trip to Florida since late fall — long before the novel coronavirus was even a blip on anyone’s radar. They rented a house on Ocean Drive, steps away from beautiful South Beach. They bought tickets to the Winter Party Festival, a week-long event that brings thousands of gay men to Miami’s hotels, nightclubs, bars, and beaches to raise money for LGBTQ groups in South Florida.
Ellis and his friends traveled to Miami in early March — before the cascade of shutdowns, curfews, and closures that would swiftly upend American life — from all over the country: Seattle, Denver, Boston, Washington, D.C.
Since then, all six of them have gotten sick and with the same symptoms: chills, sweats, fatigue, shortness of breath. Four of them, including Ellis, already have tested positive for COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus.
“All six have shown the exact same symptoms at different times. So everyone in the household got it for sure — I am 100 percent confident; it’s too coincidental,” Ellis said in an interview this week, his nose running and voice hoarse. “The fear, though, is a lot of them were actively enjoying their social life [before they felt sick] . . . going to bars, going to dinners, going and hanging out at friends’ houses, quarantining with friends.”

Oh, trust the medical experts, they tell us. Meanwhile, Doctor Homo is partying down in South Beach with his gay buddies, who then return home to spread the deadly contagion across the country.

Speaking of homosexual activity in South Beach:

 

This is the sordid aftermath of the raucous drugs and booze party at a Florida hotel that left a male escort hospitalized and sent high-flying Democrat Andrew Gillum into rehab.
Plastic baggies of suspected crystal meth, empty beer bottles and prescription pills are seen scattered among trash and soiled bedding in the shocking images obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.
Gillum, a married dad-of-three who narrowly missed out on becoming Florida’s first black governor, was too ‘inebriated’ to tell cops what went down when they arrived at Miami’s Mondrian Hotel early last Friday.
He was inside room 1107 with two more men, one of them a hunky 30-year-old male escort named Travis Dyson, who was found naked and in the throes of a drug overdose.
A police report says the third man, Aldo Mejias, 56, dialed 911 when fitness freak Dyson began vomiting and collapsed.
He later told officers from the Miami Beach Police Department that he had walked in to find Gillum and Dyson ‘under the influence of an unknown substance’ and Gillum, 40, vomiting in the bathroom.
Our exclusive images show the slew of drugs, both prescription and illegal, found inside the swank $220-per-night hotel room, including three bags of what police believe was crystal meth.
Dozens of white pills can be seen scattered on the floor and bedside table alongside empty containers of citalopram, an anti-anxiety medication, and gabapentin, which helps combat seizures and nerve pain.
There’s also a small bottle of an injectable medicine containing alprostadil which is typically used to treat erectile dysfunction and should never be mixed with alcohol.
Beer bottles and sheets covered in bodily fluids can also been in the photos, obtained from police under Freedom of Information law.
Cops declined to press charges and said Dyson, who posts X-rated photos and homemade porn movies on his profile page on the Rent.Men website, was likely to make a full recovery.
Gillum, a former Tallahassee mayor and regular CNN contributor, issued a statement within hours of the story leaking, apologizing for his drinking while insisting he never used meth.

Let’s be clear that this was a gay sex party. Methamphetamine and a drug “used to treat erectile dysfunction”? Sheets “covered in bodily fluids”? Do not expect us to pretend we don’t know what this was about. By the way, what is purported to be a nude photo of Gillum passed out on the floor of this South Beach hotel room has circulated online, and the Official Gay Community is angry at the “far-right” gay blogger who first posted it. Jacob Engels of the Central Florida Post says he obtained the photo from Republican congressional candidate Enrique Tarrio — a guy who we actually interviewed on The Other Podcast at CPAC 2019.

Anyway, I like how the “far-right” blogger reports the story:

At the time of the meth fueled sex orgy, Gillum was leading a powerful political committee in Florida, serving as a lead contributor to CNN, and was being considered as Joe Biden’s Vice Presidential pick for the Democrats. . . .
This is an ongoing story and we are currently working to obtain bodycam footage from law enforcement officers. Remember, this guy came within 34,000 votes of becoming Governor of Florida and was being discussed as a VP nominee for the Democrats.

If only Gillum had postponed his “meth-fueled sex orgy” a few more months, he might have become Joe Biden’s running mate. That’s scary.

So, in addition to the racism of calling this a “Chinese virus,” I suppose I’m now guilty of homophobia for calling attention to how Miami’s “Winter Party” helped spread the disease. Also, telling the truth about a Democrat’s “meth-fueled sex orgy” makes me a hater, I guess.

Political correctness requires us to pretend we don’t know things that we actually do know, e.g., what happens when thousands of gay men travel to a week-long festival in Miami. Even when the consequences of such behavior include spreading potentially fatal diseases, we are expected never to mention the sordid reality involved. You could lose your job — or get banned from Twitter — if you refuse to cooperate with the “progressive” agenda of this compulsory make-believe game.

Classifying the expression of certain opinions as “hate speech” involves an infringement of our First Amendment rights. You are not allowed to express disapproval of a “meth-fueled sex orgy,” or a gigantic week-long gathering of homosexuals (who may not be using meth, but are almost certainly having sex orgies) because there is a political agenda to protect such behavior from public criticism. Most Americans never stop to think about the motives behind political correctness: Why are some categories of behavior (and some categories of people) off-limits to criticism?

Once a special-interest group aligns itself with the Democratic Party, suddenly you’re forbidden to express a negative opinion of them. The rules of political correctness are always dictated by this partisan formula. Once upon a time, Catholics were a key constituency for the Democratic Party, which meant criticism of Catholic practices was prohibited. Once the abortion lobby and the LGBTQ crowd gained ascendancy among Democrats, however, denouncing Catholicism became more or less mandatory. Likewise, anti-Semitism was forbidden until the Democrats began soliciting support from Muslims, at which point Jew-haters like Ilhan Omar became the leaders of the party’s “progressive” wing.

Now? Democrats are eager to have the votes of Chinese bat-eaters, I guess. So while it is still legal to express an opinion on this subject, let me declare that I am against eating bats. (SPLC Headline: “Right-Wing Blogger Stirs Controversy With Dietary Hate Speech.”) So you can add that to the list of things of which I disapprove: Don’t eat bats, don’t do meth, avoid sex orgies in South Beach, and above all, don’t forget that The Five Most Important Words in the English Language are:
