LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has confirmed local transmission of monkeypox in LA County, as some of the more recent of the 22 cases of monkeypox in LA County thus far have no history of international or out-of-state travel. There have been no hospitalizations or deaths.   

Anyone can get and spread monkeypox, but some of the recent cases identified have been among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men who attended large events where the exposure to monkeypox may have occurred. Public Health is working with event organizers to notify attendees of potential exposure.  

While supplies of monkeypox vaccine are limited, Public Health is offering the JYNNEOS vaccine in a targeted manner to reach individuals at higher risk of monkeypox.  This includes people who are known close contacts to someone diagnosed with monkeypox and individuals who attended an event where they may have had skin-to-skin contact with someone who later tested positive for monkeypox virus. The vaccine is being used in these cases to reduce the risk of developing monkeypox.

As vaccine supply increases, Public Health will focus on making the monkeypox vaccine available for other high-risk groups in efforts to prevent widespread community transmission.   

Monkeypox does not spread easily between people.  The spread of monkeypox from person to person can occur through contact with body fluids, monkeypox sores, items that have been contaminated with fluids or sores (like clothing or linens), or through prolonged exposure to respiratory droplets. Because of this, transmission may also occur during sex through skin-to-skin and other intimate contact.

LA County encourages persons who experience symptoms consistent with monkeypox (such as characteristic rashes or lesions), persons who traveled to countries where monkeypox cases have been reported or persons who have had close contact, including sexual contact, with someone who has a similar rash or received a diagnosis of suspected or confirmed monkeypox, to contact their health care provider for a risk assessment. Those who do not have a regular provider should call 2-1-1 for assistance. 

MONTEREY PARK – The Boys & Girls Clubs of West San Gabriel Valley & Eastside had hosted the 2nd annual San Gabriel Valley Pride March at the beginning of Pride Month on June 4 in Monterey Park. The march featured 400+ Boys & Girls Club youth, staff and community members supporting a positive, inclusive environment for all.

The march was co-hosted with the City of Monterey Park and Alhambra Teachers Association. After the march, Club kids participated in the LGBTQ+ Resource Fair which included music, giveaways, artwork and more.

“We know young people thrive when they feel a sense of belonging, and our Clubs provide a safe, positive environment for all. Our goal is to create a space for kids to feel comfortable and ultimately become productive citizens,” said JR Dzubak, CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of West San Gabriel Valley & Eastside. “We’re proud to support the diversity of our Club youth, families, staff and community members and work toward a more inclusive future.”

The March was first organized last year by Angel Silva, a former Club youth member and current Club employee, who as an Out gay 20-year-old has progressed from struggling over his sexual orientation as an adolescent to becoming a valued employee of Boys & Girls Club WSGV.

Silva has created more inclusive programming such as DNA (Definitions Not Applicable), which is an alliance program that fosters conversations, resources and events in support of LGBTQ+ Club youth and their allies.

Silva created the DNA program with input from Club teens and in coordination with the Club’s Director of Wellness and Licensed marriage and family therapist, Nick Koontz. Silva and the Club are expanding DNA’s impact and reach and plan to partner with other LGBTQ+ groups.

When Silva joined Boys & Girls Clubs WSGV in 3^rd grade in 2011, he never thought that he would grow up to become the Club’s leading LGBTQ+ advocate as a proud, Out gay man.

As a child, he was constantly bullied throughout school and always struggled with his identity. Boys & Girls Club WSGV was there for Angel and provided support and resources – the Club became his second family.

While he was in denial for many years about his sexuality, in 2017, Silva got the courage to come out to Club staff as gay. The Club was a safe haven to be himself and also helped him get information, guidance and tips on how to come out to his family.

In June 2020, right after graduating high school, JR Dzubak – the CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of WSGV – asked Silva to be the person to raise the first Pride flag outside the Club.

In June 2021, Silva and Club staff launched the first ever Pride March in San Gabriel Valley in partnership with Alhambra Teachers Association and the City of Monterey Park (it was actually a lunch between Silva and his Alhambra elementary school teacher that sparked the idea of creating this March to show support for LGBTQ+ members in the San Gabriel Valley community, and Boys & Girls Club WSGV provided the funding and planning).

“Boys & Girls Clubs of West San Gabriel Valley is a trailblazing youth organization. The Club does a phenomenal job of celebrating Pride 365 days a year, 24/7. That’s the honest truth,” said Silva. “Since I was a young child, the Club has been there for me and always has encouraged me to be myself. Now as an employee at the Club, I’m so excited to create more inclusive programming and help others the way the Club helped me
