The Admiral
the star of the masquerade
You wanna know what's really weird? Weird in very large air-quotes?
It's "weird" how a bunch of cishets just kinda assume there's that much public sex going on at Pride. There is not. And when a lot of them are called to describe what they're talking about, they come back with pictures of a dude in a harness -- not even, like, doing anything unusual in said harness, just wearing a harness and standing there, maybe dancing in a fairly normal, non-sexual way. Some dude in leather is not going to harm your kids by itself. Come back when he's actually ****ing on a float and maybe we can have a conversation about whether or not public sex in general is socially acceptable (but again, we can frame that direction away from Pride because sex in public places happens elsewhere between people who heterosexual and/or cisgender -- discussing only public "kink" and/or sexuality at Pride has an ulterior motive or is borne of ignorance). Also, if "kink" at Pride is bad, what about "kink" elsewhere? Did any of you folks have problems with, say... anything to do with Fifty Shades of Grey?
And don't get me wrong! I'm not saying you should. I'm asking for internal consistency. Or honesty from these people that they're homophobes. Neither of these would change anything, but I'm at a point where I no longer expect anything to ever change ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever, so I mean, that's my bad. I frankly don't know how to teach people who actively refuse to learn things. And I'm sick of feeling like I have to constantly -- effectively -- prove my humanity to some people just because I'm bi and nonbinary.

this is the funniest part of the thread by a wide margin tbh(I'm not an expert on straight sex, sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
