“gay couples should be allowed to show affection/pda/kiss at pride” and “kink doesn’t belong at pride, especially not events with minors” are not contradictory statements and idk why y’all think they are
sex/sexuality have historically been a part of the lgbt movement and a gay couple kissing is a revolutionary form of protest because of how our sexuality has been criminalized in the past (and present). y’all equating a lesbian couple sharing one kiss in public to someone turning up to pride in a gag and harness is literally employing the same rhetoric used by homophobes to criminalize gay sexuality
and i want to make it 100% clear when i say “kink doesn’t belong at pride” i am referring to the fact that kinksters are not inherently lgbt or part of the ~~queer community~~. you can be lgbt and into kink and you can be cishet and into kink. in no universe is kink equivalent to being gay/trans and being into kink does not make you queer
