y’all really had a whole socratic seminar in my comments huh

I was this commenter on another recent post on here. The fucking wave of internalized homophobia from #2 and others just proves my point. Y’all are fucking pathetic. Get with it, or get out of the fucking way.

then you would hate historical pride parades

Anonymous 12w

it's weirder that a child would see a piece of leather and immeditely think its sexual. no one wants dick out in the streets, most of what's at pride is flags and kink wear.

Anonymous 12w

maybe children should not be going to events that have kink in them. kink and pride are intertwined. there is no pride parades without the kink community

Pride events and parades should 100% be family friendly, I think 18+ pride events are a great idea, huge public events should be family friendly

Well obviously the issue isn’t about just a piece of leather, when you say “kink at pride” the first thing that’s gonna pop into your head is some porn level shit because that’s what kink is

Do you think people have having sex in the street. Do you seriously think that’s what we mean. Don’t be purposely dense with me.

Yall gotta start specifying the level yall wanna go for because when the average person reads or hears “kink” they’re thinking people that are 90% naked with ball gags or puppy masks or some shit like that

hot take: we should not dull ourselves down to make ourselves palatable to children that shouldn’t be there. kink has historically always been apart of pride, pride is not a cutesy little parade, it originates as a protest.

and there are plenty of other spaces available for young queer people, every city that has a pride parade has a queer center they have access to

yeah so you just are judgemental and things that you don’t understand make you uncomfortable. got it.

But there aren’t many spaces, queer city centers are usually shitty, most queer spaces are clubs or bars

Anonymous

#2 12w

queer centers are who organize pride parades and other events throughout pride month, there typically are events that are centered towards queer teens

But why shouldn’t the main pride parade and events be family friendly?

Anonymous

#2 12w

see my previous point, pride parades are meant to cause discomfort in a heteronormative society. they’re not meant to placate straight people to make us more palatable

crazy for you to say pride has nothing to do with straight people when the whole point of pride is to shove it in their face that we are here and not going away

i feel like you’re being intentionally dense atp, pride is meant to make straight people uncomfortable, therefore yeah we are going to do outrageous shit and express ourselves to the fullest extent, and sometimes that involves kink. therefore it’s not necessarily a family friendly event because the event is meant to be outrageously expressive

I’m saying it makes me uncomfortable to see, when straight people do it, gay people I legit don’t care who does it, I didn’t consent to see it

i understand not wanting to be heteronormative, i really do, but unfortunately i feel like #2 makes a good point about how pride should also be accessible for families. children with queer parents, queer kids with straight parents, etc. and yeah, sure, some kink stuff isn't outright freaky and sex-centered but i still don't think that excuses exposing children to it?

Anonymous

boo and downvote me all you want, but if i was a parent and i knew exactly what that equipment/behavior/whatever meant, i still wouldn't want my kid to be around it. especially considering stories of now adults that have survived predatory behavior based on kink from parents or adults around them, it's important to consider these perspectives. i don't see literally any harm in branding things as 18+ or at the very least mentioning that kink is involved

i mean no, not by itself, but what if the child is curious? and sure a quick and harmless explanation will do, but god forbid they go out on their own and try to figure out what the symbolism is

i agree, but the belief doesn't stop it from happening. i wouldn't allow my kids to have unrestricted access, but some parents do

If I wear a collar to pride and some kid looks up why and is shocked, that’s in no way my fault. It’s the fault of the parents for allowing the kid full internet access

Yes. Because me wearing a necklace you think is “weird” does not hurt you in any real way

you literally just do not understand the history of pride and choose to believe that seeing people w kinks in some way is harmful to children. i went to so many pride parades as a kid, all with kink present. i am fine. i’m not even involved in the kink community as an adult. this shit is not harming queer kids you just are made uncomfortable by things you don’t understand, much like a lot of homophobes!

No but seriously why do you guys pretend to be dogs during sex. That's fucking disgusting, IDC if it's your "self expression".

I don’t pretend to be a dog. It’s also not sexual for me. It lets me get in the headspace of a pet, lets me be cared for, soft, to reclaim the dehumanisation I feel by acting not human on my own terms

Also my collar is seperate from my petplay shit. I can’t wear chokers bc they hurt and are always tight. Dog collars are looser and more comfy and I like having a tag with my name and pronouns bc it feels fun

You’re holding us back, and your inaction and strawmen arguments and whataboutisms will lead our community straight for the fucking camps, just like Germany almost a century ago. You either join forces with your community, or go back in the closet because you want to be “one of the ‘good gays’” to fascists who will end you anyway.
