🙄🙄

You won’t be happy until you’ve blamed COVID on old white men. Who by the way have much greater mortality from the virus than women.

. Most LGBT people are decent and do follow the guidelines. Some do not. take a look at the dating websites....so obvious who is not respecting Covid. That includes married, straight people too.....check it out. journalists need investigate better and& give reasons.

What a garbage article. Woke warriors

FFS 🤣 leftardation hysteria

India , Pakistan , China , Middle East , , Russia Poland and others in around the world blame and threat the LGBT community . proud to live in the Uk

How in the world do you expect a grown adult to believe that.. I was born in the day but it wasn't yesterday

You only catch it if you don’t adhere to the advice - social distancing, masking up in indoor spaces etc. We are all therefore at the same level of risk unless we take personal responsibility to keep ourselves and others safe, no matter who we are

What's cisgender? Why would sexual orientation influence the virus' behaviour? Why would transgender people be more at risk? Are you referring to those who are sex workers (who would be more at risk, regardless of identity issues)?

Do people not know that many Gay men have random sex in public bathrooms... or is this somehow controversial ? Do you think that might make them more prone to other illness ?

The likes of the G and BBC have pushed the line that this, that and other groups are all more at risk than others. but when collated we find everybody is included meaning we all are at risk and a number of those catching it, are those who haven't taken precautions

No it’s the elderly and the vulnerable from illness that are the highest risk. Don’t gaslight me with misinformation. Someone explain how exactly?

The best thing they can do is not go to marches / protests. If they stayed at home, there is less chance they will catch it

More lies and fake statistics from the Guardian. The virus doesn't care about your pronouns.

um...what

I refuse to click on this

In the US with all ya fancy pronouns. Surely it would not happen here as we work our way down the list of age groups and vulnerable.

*append victim here* people face 'starkly' higher Covid risk: 'Needs aren't being met'

So they're not avoiding people or wearing masks? What is wrong with them? Wait don't answer that.
