It's infuriating how often literal toddlers are characterized as being straight in mainstream stuff.
What's up with kink at pride anyway? Never looked into why it's a thing
why the discourse is a thing or why kink at pride is a thing in the first place?
I'm likely forgetting something important because I got interrupted about 4 times trying to write this response, but the tl;dr is that it's always been there as long as Pride has been a thing. "kink" is kind of a social construct that involves deviation from society's sexual and gender norms, so it has always been part of the community.
The origins of pride are radical, and the original Pride parade was organized by the Gay Liberation Front, as "Christopher Street Liberation Day", commemorating the anniversary of the Stonewall riots when the queer patrons of the Stonewall Inn decided not to let themselves be raided and instead to throw bricks at the cops who were harassing them. The GLF was named after Vietnam's National Liberation Front and had the radical leftist politics you'd expect — anti-racist, anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, anti-nuclear-family, and opposed traditional gender roles.
Thanks for the info, good read.
Planning to attend my first pride this year :) in Amsterdam
Chicago takes down the giant Ukraine flag currently flying at the Ohio street ramp, puts up the pride flag like they do every June, the Tribune writes an article about how this dishonors Azov, who are actually queer liberationists fighting against the homophobic Putler.
it's definitely Kamala being like, "we see you, we queer you" in a speech at some neolib LGB(no T) event
Holy fuck this one is somehow worse than the intentional bigots. Some real :malcolm-checks: feels on this one
we queer you
I'm not sure to :kelly: or :cringe: as that is something too clever for her to think up herself.
Some rich asshole CEO who eats babies comes out of the closet and there's immediately dozens upon dozens of shitty puff pieces about them by buzzfeed and various associated shitlib outlets where they say that the reason that the far left is criticising them is that they're homophobic. Then "leftist" liberals claim that buying from the company headed by someone who's openly gay is actually a form of praxis
Honestly, i think the most unrealistic part of it is that a rich ceo would come out of the closet to the public
Ukrainian pride flag. It'll be something awkward like 1/3 yellow (bottom) 1/3 blue (middle) 1/3 rainbow (top). It will somehow manage to not be controversial.
TERFs show up to an anti-pinkwashing protest thinking they're all on the same side. Hilarity ensues.
That's just the Chicago dyke March like every year. Back in 2017 some dumb zionist showed up with an Israeli pride flag, too. Lol.
To make this fully clear and refined, I want like special pride flag edition, all cerakoted up, not just rainbow PVD; there are several factory rainbow PVD things already available.
don't they also have Pink(tm) for breast cancer(tm) fracking drill heads, or did I see a satirical shitpost and internalize it as being real bc it's indistinguishable from things that happen in this hell we call reality
The monkeypox trend line will increase steadily as it has been, but now it will receive way more attention and be blamed on gay people having sex
Elon Musk tries to come out as pan, using the kevin spacey playbook to respond to the recent news of his sexual harassment
Roe v Wade gets overturned for real, then some state (probably Texas) tries to ban gay marriage, making Obergefell v Hodges the next target of SCOTUS
