Not since the gruesome heyday of HIV/Aids has a virus been such a threat to the lives of men who have sex with men.

Monkeypox has a mortality rate of 3.6%. It's not a threat to the lives of homosexuals like HIV/AIDS was.

it’s not so much a threat to their lives, as you said, but a threat to their appearance and desirability.

Even gay men are turned off by other men covered in bumps.

Thus, it’s an existential threat to them.

But it makes them look gross so other men won't want to have sex with them.

For them, that is indeed an existential threat.
