    I have the same opinion. Pride parades often hurt the public image of the LGBT community. At least ban the leather fetish shit.

      Someone else once said that they love humans, just ban all jews.

      Leather is only a fetish because some people decided that it is. There is nothing inherently wrong with leather.

      Ban leather fetish? You are the definition of ignorance. That is what is hurting the public image. Do you also go to a rave and tell them to dress differently? All that neon clothing is hurting your eyes? Or to any demo with people dressing as unicorns?

      You underestimate the public. Who cares about leather? We care about people being ignorant dicks, about people who are obnoxious and about people who are trying to harm others. Not leather.

      There is no difference between a business suit, a nipple piercing, a mini-skirt or a gag-ball. The person wearing those are what counts.

      People trying to ban others, that’s just sad. As long as decency laws are obeyed, who are you to judge? Fetish only exists because of ignorance. Otherwise, they would be hobbies.

        Lmao can you even hear yourself speak?

        Try walking up to a conservative asking for their acceptance while wearing a nipple piercing, a leather strap-on and a gag ball, and see how they respond…

        Oh man, that’s not the gotcha you think it is, The Onion is a satire site, they’re actually parodying opinions like yours, did you even read this so called proof? You certainly didn’t check the authenticity of the website in question.

        Not even that far down was an obvious give away: “The parade, organized by the Los Angeles Gay And Lesbian And Bisexual And Transvestite And Transgender Alliance (LAGALABATATA)”

            You’re right, we should all stop watching George Carlin b/c he’s been dead since 2008. Nothing he says could be relevant anymore, right?

                  And your opinion is that the best option is to turn tail and sit pretty for the cishets?

                  Don’t tell me to wake the fuck up and diminish me, soapboxing about your murdered trans friends. I am trans, I’m close to people who have had to flee their states, fallen victim to (tw: a lot)>!employment discrimination, loss of medical care, reversion of changed ID gender markers, assault, rape, homelessness due to familial rejection.!<

                  So while I’m glad you can feel good about yourself wanting to sanitize pride parades and events. I assure you that is not the issue. It’s satanic panic all over again, we’re lucky it’s not the AIDS crisis on top of it. Instead it’s a bunch of puppets who lap up their anti trans propaganda. Go listen to some conservative “talking points” and you’ll quickly realize there is no rationalizing with these people. There is no room for civil discussion.

                  Don’t tell me to wake the fuck up, and to “smell the flowers” until you’ve written hundreds of letters to your state house of representatives. Only to be met with a paltry two responses, with only one being a truly heartfelt response.

                  There’s one important thing to never forget: Armed queers bash back. Don’t ever forget it. Stay safe out there.
