Though details remain sparse, videos originally posted to Instagram have quickly gone viral depicting a group of New York City guys throwing a private circuit party-like house rave. Just blocks away, city hospitals remain overstretched as healthcare heroes battle the coronavirus pandemic on the front lines.
“People are f*cking dying left and right and the gays are having full on house parties on a Monday night in NYC. JAIL,” wrote Twitter user Phillip Henry.

“I’m petty, so while they have deleted the entire story, trust and believe in a year I will bring this video right back up via ‘memories’ and tag everyone to remind them why things still haven’t fully recovered. I set a reminder through Siri,” Henry added in another tweet.

What a bunch of losers.

The shame is that atrocious thing you call a party. Not enough drugs in the world to make that look appealing.

Sorry but hospitals aren’t “overstretched.” In fact hospital beds designated specifically for covid19 patients are largely empty. And hospitals in most states are struggling to stay open because of the revenue loss. As for these circuit party guys, it’s their bodies, and their right. Stop the shaming please.
pavel20
I don’t believe that is the situation in NYC from what I’ve been reading.

@Black Pegasus
I see the right wing troll account has left the other threads to push the phony Trump propaganda that Covid is really nothing.
Thanks for completely exposing yourself as the right wing troll account you are. Because even the majority of Republicans polled are saying not enough is being done about Covid.
Time for you to pick a new screename, you’ve burned this one out since stealing it a few months ago.

@pavel20
What have you been reading? Please don’t tell me it’s The New York Times…. In fact, you can go out for yourself and see if the media is lying to you. Get your camera and visit the emergency rooms in your city. Talk to the paramedics. You’ll soon see that the hospital beds aren’t at capacity and doctors and nurses are busy making viral tic tok videos of themselves dancing while in scrubs.
trickster3737
Our hospitals are full. 2,000 dead state wide, 1500 in New Orleans alone, 8-10 page obituary section, jazz greats have died, drag queens have died. Reporters use extension arms on microphones. The line for testing if you have symptoms goes around the block and completely fills the parking lot. 30,000 total cases, 1500 in hospitals, 800 in ICU, 20,000 recovered. There is still no valid test to confirm if you have had the virus; no confirmation that you get even partial immunity from the virus if you already been through it. Other areas of Louisiana who decide not to follow the guidelines set by our democratic governor are now hot spots seeing a 200% increase in reported cases. but none of this is real because you want a hair cut…typical trump moron.
ShiningSex
The shame is how ignorant you are.
You should be ashamed if you a slut at these parties that are mainly for drugs and anonymous sex. That’s trashy.
As for emtpy beds, the numbers are going down, but that’s not changing that the death rate is going up. Read and educate yourself first.
Patrick
SHAMING………..nothing to do with shaming. These selfish people are gathering for a party. All it takes is one asymptomatic individual in the mix to be in attendance. When the party is over and people disband they start spreading the virus to unsuspecting people who are doing their best to avoid it. Party on boys;kill others and perhaps die yourself. Not worth a party is it?
nm4047
was that a storyline in Netflix Hollywood, a averaging 1500 ppl a day dying in NYC, that’s the only reason these beds you are thinking of are empty. The Trump will be awarding you the next Presidential Medal of Freedom
jayceecook
Philip Henry. LMAO
No, just no. He’s toxic AF.
Let him come to my neck of the woods where they rarely have practiced social distancing, no masks, parties, BBQs, fights, kids playing out in the street ALL day. Seriously, I forgot how much screaming children unnerved me. Our state health director had phuck wads protesting (some armed) outside her home.
Or how about Michigan. The poor Family Dollar security guard murdered for trying to enforce the face mask policy. Or the crazies with guns storming government buildings and purposely defying COVID-19 restrictions? Trump has essentially put a bounty on their governor’s head.
But Philip Henry can’t be bothered with that. The gays. THE. GAYS. HAVING. A. RAVE.
At least he’s honest with his Twitter profile. “All I want is attention.” Just stick to your Rotten Tomatoes but for OnlyFans.
WayDifferent
How about the Detroit blacks doing the Humpty Dance in Rouge Park thinking it’s just another FMLA party day while proclaiming “my pipo are disperprodpushdudnelee” effected by this?”
Troysky
@WayDifferent EXACTLY. Philip wants attn, demonize others, and CAN’T accept any hypocrisy.
Kangol2
@WayDifferent, you are really trying hard to underscore how grossly racist you are. Do you not see tons of White people, all over the US, crowding beaches, churches, parks, stores, etc.? Are you that blinded by your racism? The issue of not taking this virus and its horrific effects isn’t a racial one, it’s one of misinformation, capitalist market failure, dangerously flawed right-wing ideology, and ignorance of science and public health. Please, go back to Breitbart or Daily Stormer or whatever far-right site you wandered over here from.
ScottOnEarth
Let’s be real. Many, many gay men put strangers’ dicks in their mouths on the daily, so why would COVID-19 deter them from engaging in risky behavior.
ShiningSex
Only the trashy gays not all of us
pharaon.em.joe
Let’s be real. Straight people have anonymous sex too.
Gadfeal
Exactly. To be honest, if they are younger than 50 and otherwise healthy, the risk of dying has been 0.2% or about 10 times higher than dying of seasonal ‘flu although the morbidity is higher (like the worst case of ‘flu). As for “gay who suck strangers’ dicks”, guilty when I was in my 20-30s. Since COVID-19 has not been found in semen or blood, it’s unlikely to be an STD. For the other infections, get tested and wipe down with alcohol and hydrogen peroxide!
Godabed
selfish trash
scotty
who cares what they talk about on twitter?
WayDifferent
Despite blacks despising gays for using their “plight” and “struggles” as their own…… both are one in the same anymore. Dick, drugs, weed and living for the moment more than anything else….even their lives.
Cam
Sweetie, the memos from anti-LGBT groups that instructed people to go onto LGBT websites and try to attack minorities to drive a wedge between those groups were exposed a DECADE ago.
Not only do we know what you’re doing, you’re not good at it.
But again, thanks for showing us that people who are racist, are also anti-LGBT bigots.
Kangol2
@WayDifferentButStillARacistTroll, you do realize that there are Black gay people, right? Please, take your racist trolling somewhere else!
CurtisIsTheOne
WayDifferent. I used to live in a part of the country where people like you played dress up at night wearing white sheets and pointy hats, so WE recognize YOU! When are all the old Republican right wing trolls gonna die off like Dinosaurs so that intelligent life can thrive ?

I’m on the side of keeping the virus contained. However, its becoming more clear that we need to start implementing more of a harm reduction approach to reaching that goal. If we are going to keep bars/clubs closed to prevent *hundreds* of people from getting together at once, it might be better then to allow groups of up to 10 young people to socialize in their own homes and this can be part of a phased reopening. We’d have to rely upon them to take their temperatures before heading out, but that’s no different than the fact that we are relying on everyone to take responsibility.
We can waive our self-righteous fingers all we want but these situations will become much more common the more this drags on and we need to get ahead of this.

Dumb queens. I hope they’re named and shamed. Jeez…

Circuit parties are mostly trashy people of the community. They don’t care, if they did they wouldn’t go to such trashy, std spreading parties.
CurtisIsTheOne
Gurl, shut your old right wing slut shaming pie hole. Go back to that room underneath the stairs in Grandma’s basement apartment where you are locked. Let the intelligent people be.
jayceecook
@CurtisIsTheOne I don’t think he’s a republican nut but I know he’s a religious nut. Used to have a different username and profile pic. Always shaming most sex acts, drugs, alcohol, etc. Very “straight edge”, no pun intended. Doesn’t like drag queens or most queer culture. He’s one of those gays that wants to be a carbon copy of the white picket fence, meatloaf and mashed potatoes every Sunday heterosexual. Not that there’s anything wrong with that in general. But I don’t appreciate his assimilation preaching or sex shaming.

The gays are out partying? Pray tell, do these people stand for for every gay person in America? What about the mostly heterosexual people hitting the beaches in the South? Stupid is everywhere, not just one group or another.

…and the band played on, Round2…. Those who forget the past….
BigJohnSF
I’m not defending this folly, but 20 guys in an apartment does not constitute a “circuit party.”
Diplomat-G
No, but it is covid Petri dish and just as shallow and plastic as they are.
jackedit
Nothing new to see here. I remember the early days of the AIDS epidemic ( when it was called GRID) and gay guys insisted on their “rights” to bareback in the baths and infect hundreds of thousands and then millions.
Gay activist and writer, Larry Kramer, was vilified by gay activists when he said the baths should be closed since there were too many gay men who did not care about their health and the health of those they were infecting.
Nothing has changed even if the virus killing people is called Covid-19 and the band plays on.

As for Trickster 3737 Blaming all The COVID-19 problems On President Trump In Louisiana… well you can just take that and throw it out the window! The Covid19 problems started in Louisiana when the mayor of New Orleans refused to cancel The Mardi Gras!!!
topshelf
Okay. So it was Trump and stupid southerners. Got it.
Tishthedish1
And as for CurtisIsTheOne’ s comment that all KKK members were Republicans…That is 100% wrong and inaccurate!!! The majority of KKK members In the South were Democrats as was the majority of the South….period!
David Myers
You’ve just exposed yourself as a TROLL. KKK types fled the Democratic party after it passed the Civil Rights Act (1964) and the Voter’s Rights Act (1965). They fled to the republican party in massive droves . . . and Nixon welcomed them with open arms . . . called it his “southern strategy”. Ever since then the republican party has owned the KKK, the neo-nazis, and the white supremacists . . . or rather THEY have owned the republican party. Poor Abraham Lincoln would be so deeply ashamed and chagrined at what has become of his once great emancipationist party. You are clearly a TROLL (russian or trumpian?) . . . who cares! Begone TROLL . . . you have no power here!!! Don’t expect any further comment from me. I don’t tolerate TROLLS or fools . . . and you’re both!
Donston
If it were just about hooking up you can easily find someone on Grindr or whatever and keep it on the low. But a lot of these folks are desperate for attention, desperate for validation and are obsessed with experiencing rushes.
Gary Q VV
An excellent definition of what’s wrong with society.
Gary Q VV
The world has bad straight and bad LGBTQ people. These Queer parties durning this pandemic are no different than straight parties – they’re all attended by selfish, weak, stupid, men and women. So, party-up! and be dead along with those you spread the virus.
RandomGuy
They were dumb whores before COVID-19 they are dumb whores during COVID-19 and they’ll be dumb whores after COVID-19…if they are still alive to be dumb whores.
RobF
I’m totally not surprised that circuit house parties and/or sex parties still exist. Like the protesters in other states fighting for their freedom during a lock down, they instead choose to follow their own selfish rules. Most people will survive Covid. These people choose to play the odds. Personally, I’m not willing to take that gamble!
