Like what, besides literally just the most basic "I like gay" shit is in this case "allowed" at pride because of being "integral" to your sexuality/gender? I deadass just dont understand the logic, if it exists.

Like why is leather "allowed" at pride then, is being a biker integral to your sexuality?(I obviously know the cultural history for leathers association with queer culture, but kink has similar history and associations so this isnt a valid differentiation).

Just boggles me real hard, I know its probably just a bad faith argument but I still wanna find out what the actual possible reasoning is.

      Drag culture in particular was a significant part from the start of Stonewall, which was started by police basically sexually assaulting drag queens and trans women and trying to arrest them, now you may differ on if drag is "kink" or not but a lot of the big anti-kink people definitely lump drag in with 18+ stuff.

      Yet drag undoubtedly both has a place in LGBTQ+ experiences and pride despite also being something cishets can engage in and not being universal or even liked by all of the queer community.
