Florida Pride Parade CANCELED After DeSantis bans Children At Adult Performances, Democrats FURIOUS.
Can anyone fill me in on the MSNBC take on this?
I think they’re painfully boring.
I’m a gay man. There is nothing more boring to me than someone who makes their sexuality their whole personality.
The people who fought and died for our right to marry and our right to exist deserve a parade. The people who died of AIDS during the epidemic while they fought to be seen deserve a parade. The people who were forced into camps to be ‘converted’ deserve a parade.
But the parades aren’t about those people. The parades have been co-opted by leather-daddies, pup-players, nipple-clamps, and BDSM.
There’s no reason to be ashamed of being gay, but there’s no reason to be proud of it either.
Being gay isn’t an achievement, and it hasn’t been a struggle for 15 years.
They put up an image of the average gay man as a sex-addicted nymphomaniac who can’t leave the house without announcing to the world which hole he prefers to fill.
The average gay man is a lot more than that. We have dreams. We have aspirations. We have skills, hobbies, talents, jobs, lives. We are not our sexuality.
I hate that I have to put my sexuality at the start of every post relating to this topic. It shouldn’t matter.
I’m an artist. That’s how I want to describe myself. I’m a writer. I’m a college student. Hell, I’m a part-time janitor. All of these things are more important and more interesting than my sexuality, but the BDSM crowd that runs pride reduces me to my sexuality every time they parade down the street in nothing but a leather strap and clams on their nipples.
I like your rainbow hair.
So they had to make it sexual to make it exciting to get attention.
Do you get bored watching your Anime porn?
