As a gay man of a certain age, I can confidently say that gay guys love poppers or have loved poppers. But I would say that it's mostly like a queer party drug now. Like the aforementioned Charli XCX, she famously had some meet and greets. She signed some poppers and they become kind of like this pop culture meme.

And I think, like, the whole pop cultural, like, ephemera of, like, Charlie XCX sniffing poppers kind of makes it, like, this tongue-in-cheek joke about people who know what poppers are. So when you have this, like, serious story of an FDA rig allegedly going after business... I think there's this kind of like initial shock that's kind of like, okay, well, why?

I mean, I think queer people are not unfamiliar with being painted as deviants. That is the rhetoric that has come from the right wing in the last five, ten years. It's just like, oh my gosh, it's a deviant lifestyle, whatnot. Queer people are not strangers being painted in a certain way.

but I do think that like poppers puts people in a weird space of like, if you defend poppers, are you defending like this kind of like illicit lifestyle? Right.
