fr they don’t juxtapose one another lmao you can still be upset at how corporate pride has become and how sexualized it’s become

Yes pride has always been sexual but it doesn’t always have to be. Having spaces that are LGBTQ+ friendly and also free from sexual stuff is incredibly important because it gives a space for queer youth. You can have pride without sexual stuff but also with pride comes sexual stuff so it’s something that can be tricky

There are public Pride events for everyone and there are 18+ only events. You’re conflating the two.

The two often overlap. I’ve been to “family friendly” events where there have been things that are not family friendly at all. It’s important to have spaces available for both because otherwise they’ll continue to bleed into each other and you’ll end up with kids at 18+ events and kinks at family friendly events. I’ve seen it happen time after time. I don’t necessarily think it’s a bad thing to have sexual stuff be linked to pride I just think there is a time and place

Kink displays are one thing and are integral to Pride at its core. That’s what you’re conflating with more sexually active events which are not accessible to children.

I haven’t gotten to see a space that is exclusively for kinks/sexual stuff but that might be because I am from a relatively small town. I have only ever seen events that are advertised for everyone so kids, adults, and teens can go. I would love to see a space that is specifically designed for certain things and not just an event that is for everyone
