Florida Passes Anti-Drag Ban So Extreme It Could Ban All Pride Parades
as ever fuck Ron DeSantis and the Republican Party
and also as ever, please please take this as your sign to speak out, to talk to your loved ones who love you but don't "get it" to tell acquaintances, neighbors, and co-workers who don't know. Let this be your wake up call to join a local LGBT rights org, to find your local Democratic Party meeting, to call your state Rep or Senator or both. Do not give up, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice, if someone does the bending...
finally I'm just thinking about this picture, this is what they're so scared of, and it's beautiful

gonna just dip my toe into some fairly toxic discourse
to say that when people hold up asexuals like me as a reason to ban any expression of kink from pride parades and the like, i am reminded of an experience i had in kindergarten, where a fellow five-year-old completely misunderstood how my dairy allergies worked and thought he could make me pass out by waving a piece of cheese at me.
like, okay, i don't experience sexual attraction to anybody; that doesn't mean i'm gonna melt like the wicked witch of the west if i see someone else wearing bondage gear. i'm a grown adult and frankly, straight allo culture throws more explicit portrayals of sexuality at me every day. trust me, i can handle it. don't project your puritan ideals onto me.
for the record, speaking only for this asexual, the actual things that make me uncomfortable at pride are cops, crowds, and (as someone very susceptible to burning and heat exhaustion) the sun. one of those things should be banned while the other two are basically inevitable. kink doesn't even begin to factor into it.

Teachers with Pride Still Have to Hide
Gay schoolteachers wearing masks at parade, June 28, 1986
In this image, Seattle schoolteachers participating in the Gay Freedom Day parade through the Capitol Hill neighborhood hold a banner reading "Teachers with Pride Still Have to Hide," and wear masks to protest the discrimination they have felt. An estimated 10,000 people participated in the event, which is part of Seattle's annual Gay Pride Week.

I got banned from going to WalMart to the extent that me being 500 feet from the parking lot would get me arrested. All I did was ask why they didn't have items celebrating Pride.

So in the latest "ban books!" controversy there's a picture book for pre-schoolers called "Grandad's Pride" the objection is that some of the illustrations of Pride involve men in leather
and I could go on and on about how yes that is in fact something you might see at Pride out in public so why would you not include it but.....
here's an unrelated image of popular children's cartoon character He-Man in a Harness (and fury underpants) if its only a problem when gay men do it, thats homophobia...

So *checks notes* children and young adults are mature enough to give birth and have a child, something that among adults has around a 7% regret rate, but they're not old or mature enough for gender affirming care or surgeries which have a regret rate around 1%?
Make it make sense please
