We don’t know what protections Lucas Entertainment provides its porn industry models and actors against Monkey Pox.
By LOUIS FLORES
The adult film studio Lucas Entertainment is keeping mum about actions it is taking to keep their models and actors safe as the Monkey Pox outbreak in New York City unsettles gay and bisexual men. Multiple requests for information sent to Lucas Entertainment, headed by Michael Lucas, went unanswered last week.
Described as the largest gay film studio based in Manhattan, Lucas Entertainment have been actively promoting their adult videos throughout the Coronavirus and Monkey Pox outbreaks. In the past, adult studios adopted the use of condoms — sometimes voluntarily, sometimes required by law — in the face of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. At least once, the adult film industry in California faced a brief moratorium. But now, with Monkey Pox spreading unchecked, one of the leading gay porn studios is seemingly ignoring the latest public health crisis. Progress New York also reached out to three actors, who have been featured in recent Lucas Entertainment films, but the actors never replied.

A controversy over whether the Monkey Pox viral outbreak is an STI or a new pandemic.
Members of the LGBTQ+ community in New York have succeeded in branding the Monkey Pox outbreak as largely affecting men, who have sex with other men. As a result, the Government has been targeting early vaccines to gay and bisexual men to the exclusion of other communities, who may be at-risk of contracting Monkey Pox.
On Saturday, the World Health Organisation deemed the Monkey Pox outbreak “a public health emergency of international concern.”
Some public health officials are worried that the emphasis on sexual transmission would lead to increased stigma and would divert resources away from others, who are not being given priority access to vaccines. In Western countries, people with Monkey Pox are largely able to make a recovery, unlike people in Africa, where Monkey Pox can lead to death.
this monkeypox breakout is going to be very ugly when it "suddenly" explodes into the general population. the messaging around it currently is horrendously irresponsible. painting it as an sti that affects queer men is going to lead some very dark places that we have seen before.
