Leave it to the always-reliable Michael Henry to savage gay life in the most hilarious way possible. In his newest video, Henry takes on gays skeptical of a COVID vaccine, and those who jaunt off to Puerto Vallarta to party during the pandemic.
The video opens with Henry admiring some wood (no surprise there). He runs across his friend Randy who has just returned from a Puerto Vallarta circuit party, and who has some major skepticism when it comes to vaccination.
“Honey, you smoke cigarettes,” Henry observes of his friend. “I’ve seen you do key bumps at the urinal. You’ve been known to take those little blue penis pills they sell at the gas station checkout…You’re already doing all these risky, potentially life-threatening things but you’re against getting inoculated?”

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Who knows what’s in [the vaccine]?” Randy wonders in reply.
Randy then recounts his adventures in Puerto Vallarta, and the number of cosmetic injectables he absorbed in preparation. Micheal won’t stand for it.
“You trust partying in Mexico, circuit parties, Botox, 4-Loco, key bumps from strangers, and little blue penis pills you buy at the gas station, but you don’t trust the COVID vaccine?” an indignant Michael asks.
“My brain is leaking out of my skull,” he declares. “You’re making it do that.”
Amen, Michael. We’re right there with you.

I don’t think screechy and preachy gets people a lot of converts, but somehow in these videos, “And then everybody stood up and clapped.”
Most of the anti-science idiots are, simply put, not going to get the vaccine. That’s their problem, unfortunately. But yelling at them isn’t going to help. And this isn’t funny, either.
Hdtex
Amazing how preachy and screachy you sound.
Liquid Silver
At least I can spell and do something other than yell names. Unlike you. Shouldn’t you head back to JoeMyGod where everybody is exactly like you and they simply break Disqus rules and scream SPAM at everything they disagree with because, like you, they can’t think their way out of a damp paper bag?

Everybody always says things like “Shamming them doesn’t help” or “yelling at them doesn’t help”/
Except every time we’ve boycotted, backlashed, or yelled about something, it did help. What doesn’t help is coddling idiots and making them think their stupid conspiracies are valid.

On the contrary, yelling changes no minds at all. Education does. You might slap them with your holy dollar, but you didn’t change a single mind with it.
Otherwise, Trump wouldn’t have happened. We keep hearing about how amazingly liberal everybody young is, and yet this crap keeps happening with amazingly regularity, along with an ever-renewing supply of Madison Cawthorn-types.
Newsflash. Educate. Don’t slap. Oh, but that’s hard, and not as much fun as playing the slapping game, and you have to spend more time and start earlier. Alas. And it requires community involvement and money and…yeah, I won’t hold my breath.
Or why I didn’t bother in this message either. I figure you’re beyond learning and it’s far too late when most of what you say is a troll anyway.

I watched the video, who exactly was yelling? I didn’t hear any yelling.

Just screams of jealousy. If people want to travel, let them. As long as they are safe and smart then good for them. We have to stop the shaming in the gay community, it is terrible and we should know better. Be smart. If you are healthy and want to travel for your mental health and to support the economy then do so. If you are concerned or around people you feel are at risk then do not. It is simple. The shaming and jealousy of those who choose to live their life as they wish has got to stop.

Screams of selfish entitlement. I have no choice to but go out to run errands for my 72 year old mother. I am being safe, but what if I run into someone who chooses to put others at risk? Too bad? I know two people who have died of Covid and four others who are still trying to recover. They didn’t go out. It was BROUGHT to them. This attitude of doing what you want, when you want, with no regard for others is disgusting. They deserve shame.
Go ahead and clap back and make excuses, but it’s killing people. There is no jealousy. That is a pathetic justification. It is shameful to put other people at risk. It’s selfish, shameful, and frankly, stupid. I hope no one you love dies.

Well said KiwiJello… thank you
ShiningSex
what’s safe about traveling now? do tell. explain to us how it’s safe when doctors have said NOT to travel Einstein.
Get your head out of your ass (i’m sure it’s used to being there).
No one is jealous of stupidity.
Catholicslutbox
It’s the hypocrisy that’s getting some people.
The people partying were also the ones telling people to stay home and wear a mask.
Some of them were health care professionals preaching a b c and then ignoring it all themselves.

Are you a log cabin queer rethuglican? Just asking.

“Traveling to help the economy”. Lordy. Such phony nonsense.
I am done policing folks’ behaviors and shaming people over not wearing masks or for indulging big parties. It’s not doing much except exhausting. There’s a percentage of folks who just don’t care. But just say that you just don’t care. Leave the “I’m traveling for my mental health and to help the economy” junk at the door.
Abraxas020
I agree. What nasty Queenie behavior!
Milton
The places where people “travelled” are the ones where the health systems are crashing.
You sir are a self entitled twit there isnt a day were sekf obsorbed morons do not deserve to be shamed.
If people took one for the community early on in the pandemic in the US, Europe and Brazil they would not be in the position thet are in now.
Currently down this end of the world we are wearing masks and most of us are not doing any unnecessary travelling because of a 100 odd cases over a month.
That is how a community acts during a pandemic you absolute tool.

All people have the ability to be idiots. Gay men are no exception. It matters that humans care about transmitting COVID-19 to others. Selfish and entitled much?
amanwithanedge
very funny!
ShiningSex
any queen not listening to mandates or listening to common sense deserve what happens to them. people are dying and some people don’t care. they think ignorantly that they are invincible to this pandemic. it’s quite gross seeing how many parties people are having.
you cannot help stupid.
whateverokok
Common sense? There doesn’t seem to be much of that going around on here. I doubt doctors have said not to travel. And I say that because I have two family memebers in the medical field, with one being a neurosurgeon, and they have traveled lots since covid started.

You know, there was a time not that long ago when gay men were told to “mask up”, so to speak, to stop the spread of another nasty virus. And like now, there were those who said it was “no big deal” and “I’m gay, stop trying to oppress my right to party”.
How’d that turn out?
So this elder gay is happy to see these circuit queens being dragged for all it’s worth. Back then, ancient times as far as many younger gays are concerned, those who wantonly continued to party in the face of a deadly reality had a name: Bug Chasers.
Sadly, it appears some things never change.
ScottOnEarth
Recklessness, narcissism and social-irresponsibility in the (male) gay community are long-standing issues. Why would we expect the majority of gay men to suddenly become responsible, informed members of society now?

RN-BSN here. I’ve taken both doses of the vaccine. I work with covid patients. I signed up to give vaccines to homebound seniors starting next week. I had covid in early March and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone other than covid denying nuts. Please wear a mask, don’t take stupid risks, and take the vaccine when available for you.

1st dose I had mild muscle soreness in arm. 2nd dose nothing.

Thank you for the work you’re doing.

Vaxxers vs. antivaxxers?
Well – here’s the thing. While antivaxxers claim nobody has the right to endanger their health or their lives by forcing them to be vaccinated, the whole of the rest of the population then has its OWN rights – including the right to isolate and quarantine all the antivaxxers who don’t choose to leave the country, instead (always assuming anyone else wants them!) – until COVID is finally extinguished.
Because the vaxxers have the same right to protect THEIR lives and THEIR safety. Remember? – the excuse the antivaxxers use to dodge the needle?
What the antivaxxers really fantasise is that so many vaxxers will take the jab that they (the antivaxxers) won’t need to – they hope that the efforts of the vaxxers will disappear the COVID pandemic. It won’t. Vaccination protects the vaccinated. Everyone else can rot, if that’s what they choose to do with their lives.
I do pity the children of an antivax family. The antivaxxers are adults – they can make the choice, to refuse the vaccine – and choke on it, if the decision backfires. But doing that, to their kids? It’s like adults having their male children circumcised, without the kids’ permission. It’s irreparable – and the child who’s affected by the decision should be the ONLY one who’s entitled to make the decision.

Excellent analogy. Also reminds me of the smokers demanding their right to smoke indoors back when this was an issue long ago. Same kind of people.
