This is a good question to ask. It's very frustrating that health authorities have not released more information, but they most likely do not know exactly how the virus spread, either. Anal sex occurs at these types of events but is not a dominating activity. People may engage in a wide variety of sexual activities. Some may not have sex at all. My guess is that sex was not a contributing factor, but rather close skin-to-skin contact among a large group of people wearing little more than underwear. It's also possible the virus could have been spread through "breeding," a practice where one person will be penetrated by multiple people one-after-the-other much like a Tesla supercharger. But get any group of half-naked people together in close quarters for hours and I am sure any type of virus like monkeypox will spread. As a gay person I would very much like to at least know the most probably theories. It's very frustrating to see comments further down postulating that a lack of protection is the cause of the virus. Last time I checked, even sex with condoms involves skin contact. Health authorities don't seem to have learned anything from COVID. The sooner information becomes available, even if the only information is "It could be this but we need to be sure," the better. In the meantime, the LGBT community will have to deal with this kind of misinformation as well as not knowing how to protect themselves.
