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.
I can not personally like having it there but still support them being there if they so choose. I never said they didn’t have a right to be there, I’d just prefer if they don’t intentionally give more ammunition to those that don’t like us.
What alyaza said. No matter how you bow and scrape and try to be “normal,” they will still hate you. You might as well be as loud and weird as possible.
You don’t win by becoming normal. You win by making it okay to be weird.

Dude, this is PRIDE. This isn’t “be ashamed and hide who you are so that other people aren’t inconvenienced.” Seriously.
