Update1: Full story about Grizzly Pines.
Evidently the policy has been in effect for a decade. Someone wanted to make some political issue.
Dallas Voice, April 2, 2025, “Controversy erupts over gay campground Grizzly Pine’s policy banning transgender men.”
The management for Grizzly Pines responded with a public statement on Monday, March 31 (which, by the way, was National Transgender Visibility Day), saying that Houston Bears knew “full well of our policy regarding trans-men well in advance of their organization booking their dates” for Bear Camp.
“This policy has been in place for more than ten years and it has never been hidden or kept from public, a fact that the Houston Bears have been fully aware of since the beginning,” the Grizzly Pines statement claims. “
Gizzly Pines says that it isn’t one size fits all, and is targeted towards a niche.

Turns out that Gizzly Pines is targeted by a John Anderson who wants all Gay camp grounds to include trans men. At this post he had the official statement by Grizzley Pines which he attacked on his facebook page.

Facebook group for Gay Camping Friends
https://www.facebook.com/groups/gaycampingfriends/
One of the things that is needed, is a Facebook group for Gay Campers who don’t want women at the camp.
Update 2:
It turns out that the attack on Grizzly Pines is the first step on forcing all Gay mens camps, 34 of them to accept transmen. So I put together this resource as support material for a counter campaign.
Grizzly Pines rejects transmen at their clothing optional camp ground.
They have a policy that it is for actual Gay men. This got outrage from the usual corners.
The LGBTQXYZ+ media is denouncing them.
https://www.advocate.com/news/transgender-men-banned-texas-campground
This is what Grizzly Pines said according to the Advocate. The post was removed.
“This campground was created as a haven specifically for men who historically lacked spaces where they could express themselves openly without outside judgment even from within the broader LGBTQ+ community. We’re not anti-trans; we’re just focused on preserving this unique sub cultural dynamic,” the venue posted.
A group, Houston Bears, cancelled their reservation there. Gays in Houston who are currently members of that group, need to consider forming a new group.
There was a pile on when another Gay camp in Michigan a few years back said hey were going to be for Gay men only.

The Advocate is the enemy of Gays.
Nature magazine reports that detransitioning is now a topic for government health.
Nature magazine turns out to be ideologically in alignment with the gender ideologues. However, it is still informative.
$180 million dollars. That is why the LGBTQXYZ+ establishment and media was all in for gender ideology.
Many scientists, reeling from the abrupt cancellation of more than US$180 million in NIH funding for research on transgender health, slammed the proposed studies as ideologically driven. [Boldface added.]
$180 million dollars! Yet, HIV mRNA vaccine research was basically halted. Effective action against mpox wasn’t being done.

Journal of Homosexuality or the Journal of LGBQXYZ+?
Journal of Homosexuality, April 2, 2025, “Sexual Minority Men’s Mental Health: Associations with Gay Community Intragroup Marginalization Beyond Heterosexist Discrimination.”
In this “study” of “Gays,” 6.4% were born women. How valid his study is about Gays is questionable. I don’t know what a “demi-male” is. It was funded by the Australian government.
Table 1 presents all demographic information. Most participants (n = 265; 93.6%) identified as men who were assigned male sex at birth, with 14 participants (5.0%) identifying as men who were assigned female sex at birth. Four participants (1.4%) who were assigned female sex at birth identified as trans-masculine or trans-male (n = 3) and demi-male (n = 1). Regarding sexual orientation, most participants were identified as either gay/homosexual (n = 239; 84.5%), bisexual (n = 23, 8.1%), or queer (n = 13, 4.6%). In reporting ethnicity, participants were able to specify more than one ethnic background. Although a majority described one background (n = 212, 74.9%), others reported two (n = 68, 24.0%) or three (n = 3, 1.0%). [Boldface added.\
Given that trans FTM (female to male) “Gay” men are a very different population with different life histories and they are generally upset that Gays won’t have sex with them, we can expect that a lot of the results to be skewed by the inclusion of women who imagine they are Gay men.
I couldn’t find how they recruited the subjects, but a lot of these studies make requests from volunteers and so you get a very skewed sample of people who urgently want to say something.
This article is part of a larger literature of which attempts to morally scold Gays and make it sound like it is based on science.

I had a post about issues with LGBTQXYZ+ research. In a spot check of 4 articles published by the Trevor Project, all four were with journals with Author Publishing Charges, (APC), that is you pay to publish, and one was with a journal that some have called predatory. We need to be careful of Crisis for Cash LGBTQXYZ+ efforts.
I do have concerns for the impact on Gay health.

Getting herpes zoster (shingles) vaccination reduces risk of dementia.
Reduce your risk of getting herpes zoster, shingles, and as a bonus reduce your risk of dementia.
From ArsTechnica, which is more readable than Nature.
Overall, being eligible for the vaccine was associated with a 1.3 percent reduction in the absolute risk of a dementia diagnosis. That translates to an 8.5 percent reduction of relative risk; when scaled to account for the fact that fewer than half of those eligible received the vaccine, that works out to be a 20 percent reduction in relative risk, which is pretty substantial. [Boldface added.
https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/04/a-bonus-from-the-shingles-vaccine-dementia-protection/
From Nature magazine article.
Using these comparison groups in a regression discontinuity design, we show that receiving the zoster vaccine reduced the probability of a new dementia diagnosis over a follow-up period of 7 years by 3.5 percentage points (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.6–7.1, P = 0.019), corresponding to a 20.0% (95% CI = 6.5–33.4) relative reduction. This protective effect was stronger among women than men. [Boldface added.]

mRNA self-amplifying vaccine research project for Nipah.
If we can’t get vaccines in the United States, it might be we will have to get them elsewhere.
Realizing that people in other nations are protected, but Americans aren’t, likely will be a reason for people to more aggressively support vaccines. Also, with vaccine efforts going on overseas, maybe that is where the HIV vaccine will come from.
Nipah is a viral disease that has had outbreaks in India and other places in Southeast Asia. It is really deadly, and the outbreaks have been stopped only by really tough lock down measures of the local Kerala state government measures.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nipah_virus
The fatality rate varies from outbreak to outbreak, but it is roughly 40%.
If it ever gets to Texas the possibility of any lockdown measure is zero. As it is, there are efforts already underway to effectively ban vaccines here without doing it officially.
The Gay focus on this, is that we get vaccinated, and the demographic which is against mRNA vaccines is also a group with a high correlation of being homophobic. We live, homophobes die, it is just that simple.
Though, if the vaccine gets developed, likely Nipah won’t come to the United States since it will be prevented from being an outbreak at the source. Tropical vaccines are often harder to get in the United States. For example, in my region in North Texas there is just one place to get a Yellow Fever vaccine.
However, if it does somehow, I expect that it might become a real outbreak here because of the vaccinated-in-Christ people we have here in the United States.
CEPI, March 30, 2025, “AI-enhanced self-amplifying mRNA vaccine set to combat one of the deadliest known viruses.”
Nipah virus belongs to the Paramyxovirus family. It is one of the deadliest pathogens known to infect humans. So far, Nipah outbreaks have been confined to South and Southeast Asia, but the fruit-bat vector is found in large geographical areas across the globe covering a population of more than 2 billion people.
Outbreaks originate from fruit bat populations, but once a human gets it, it can spread easily from human to human.

Mpox
Nature magazine article discusses mpox as an increasing pandemic risk.
The article is lengthy and somewhat technical, but it does go into depth of all the clades and it seems individual clades have lineages. Human to human transmission is called “H2H.”
Basically, the issue is that mpox is evolving, so it isn’t something rural people in Africa occasionally get from rodents, but is instead something spreading H2H, and evolving to spread H2H.
This article discusses the ongoing circulation of mpox outside Africa. I put words in brackets [] to make some of this clearer.
The history of smallpox brings the expectation that mpox will induce robust immunity after the infection resolves, but some cases of reinfection will occur. The number of cases outside endemic (zoonotic) regions [Africa] declined markedly from its peak in 2022–2023, perhaps because the transmission mode confines spread to high-contact sexual networks. However, the 2022–2023 global outbreak strain continues to circulate at low levels via sexual networks across the world. Continued circulation among men who have sex with men is likely facilitated by individuals who avoided exposure in the initial phase, re-infections, waning immunity after vaccination, and young adults becoming sexually active for the first time. [Boldface added.]
Even though the worst phase of the mpox outbreak is over, young Gays who haven’t been vaccinated need to get vaccinated, and Gays who haven’t gotten vaccinated yet, need to do so.
The article focuses on how the virus continues to evolve and can develop new ways of spreading to different groups and what is needed to prevent mpox outbreaks in the future.
The availability of freeze dried mpox vaccine will make it much easier to give mpox vaccination to men who have sex with men, and also make mpox vaccination available in Africa. See the next article in this report.

Mpox and Coughing.
I haven’t confirmed this from another source.

Freeze-dried mpox vaccine now available.
As long as mpox is epidemic or a pandemic someplace it is a menace to Gays everywhere.
Being freeze-dried it doesn’t need a specialized ultra-cold storage and transportation. It makes the distribution cheaper. This makes it more available in the United States, and very much more available in Africa. Stockpiling insures that it is available when needed, not restricted in distribution as it was in 2022. This is an important development to fight mpox.
The current liquid-frozen formulation of JYNNEOS, approved by the FDA in September 2019, has specific cold-chain requirements, while the freeze-dried formulation provides advantages in terms of transportation, storage conditions and shelf life, all of which are important factors for long-term stockpiling.

Mpox still a problem in Africa.
There continues to be reports of mpox reaching this nation or that nation or increasing in a nation.

I updated the post since I sent it out. I added in that you should always log out of an online webpage before closing it. The list discusses strong passwords. Discussed what not to allow Google to autofill.
Laugh all you want. This is a recipe that can keep you fed cheaply.
Dallas reports.
Efforts to ban vaccines have reached Texas.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and information. It is always good to get more information about issues facing any group in the LGBTQ+ community. I appreciate the efforts you make in distributing information and bringing up key points. I value your comments even if I don't necessarily agree 100%. I fear with the current state of politics in the US the queer community will be facing a tough time and need to stick together and unite for the health and safety of all. Thanks again for sharing.
