Your response was a refreshing reminder that normies don't care about this stuff, so thanks for that lol.
Kink at pride is BDSM enthusiasts (and similar) at pride, often in BDSM gear.
How did that become part of pride, wtf do they have in common?
The line between kink and queerness has historically been very blurry. Being gay or trans was once considered a sexual fetish just like any other.
Kink has always been part of pride; it did not "become" a part of it. Both kink and queerness are sexual identities that are marginalized by the mainstream, so it makes sense that they would come together to throw bricks at cops.
this is the definitive image on all LGBTQ+ gatekeeping discourse, in my humble opinion (but especially during pride month.) i am constantly obligated to say: i don't care if you think asexuals aren't valid, or bi/pan lesbians don't exist, or yadda yadda we need to keep pride safe for work. shut the fuck up! these don't matter!
and while i'm sure some people do hold them very sincerely: it's definitely conspicuous how i have almost never heard these positions expressed in any real-life queer space. these issues are so distorted by online spaces in terms of how prominent they are, and it's worth remembering that
I'd rather have kink at pride than exclusionists at pride.
I'd rather have neither
Hard disagree. Kink belongs at pride. It's always been there and is a part of our history. Kinksters are often the people who work the hardest to keep us safe, and who will fight the cops beside us if needed. Besides, pride is specifically a celebration of freaks and weirdos, the kinds of people whose sex lives are condemned as immoral by the majority. Kinksters have every right to be there.
Wtf is kink at pride?
