Mainstream media portrayed monkeypox as a sexually transmitted disease through government guidance and increased a sense of hypersexualization and stigma among gay men and men who have sex with men (MSM). The purpose of this study is to understand how the US mainstream media perpetuated stigma toward gay and bisexual men (MSM) in its coverage of monkeypox in 2022. This article, therefore, contributes to the fields of queer studies and health communication. Using discourse analysis, we found three discourses including: Global disparities, LGBTQ Behavior and Stigma, and Racialized Discussion of Health Disparities.

与男同性恋者的创伤相提并论：猴痘耻辱和主流媒体

主流媒体将猴痘描述为政府指导下的性传播疾病，并增加了男同性恋者和男男性行为者（MSM）的过度性化和耻辱感。本研究的目的是了解美国主流媒体在 2022 年猴痘报道中如何延续对男同性恋和双性恋男性 (MSM) 的污名。因此，本文对酷儿研究和健康传播领域做出了贡献。通过话语分析，我们发现了三个话语，包括：全球差异、LGBTQ 行为和耻辱以及健康差异的种族化讨论。
