A kinky San Francisco street fair Sunday sparked concerns of being a monkeypox superspreader event.
Supporters of the Dore Alley Fair, also known as The Up Your Alley Street Fair, admitted the event is not for everyone.
The fair, located in the South of Market district, is a smaller version of the Folsom Street Fair. It typically attracts a few thousand people, mostly gay men. Organizers and health experts said banning or stigmatizing a group of people or specific events tends to backfire. "There's a bit of generational disconnect -- that 30 and younger crowd doesn't have the same fear and respect for infections that the older crowd who survived HIV and AIDS. So I'm really getting out there to try to talk to the younger crowd that you guys need to make sure you get your vaccine," Leatherman added.
