“gay couples should be allowed to show affection/pda/kiss at pride” and “kink doesn’t belong at pride, especially not events with minors” are not contradictory statements and idk why y’all think they are
its bc they think gay pda is inherently deviant and sexual ¯_(ツ)_/¯
These are all photos from Sydney’s Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, which is a huge pride event. Which ones are too kinky to be there?
With a sweeping statement like “kink doesn’t belong at Pride” it feels like we’re just ignoring the entire queer and subversive nature of Pride events worldwide. Just like in the US, the first marches in Sydney were riots which were met with police violence. Over the years, as the culture became more accepting, Mardi Gras became more of a party. But at its heart and soul it’s a giant shout of “we’re here, we’re queer, get over it.” And “kink” and some specific queer identities are not separable.
So sure, kink practiced by straight people doesn’t belong at Pride because Pride is not an event for straight people, and being kinky doesn’t make you queer. But for the queer people for whom it’s a part of their entire identity, then I want to see them celebrating all the facets of who they are, for at least one day of the year.
Signed, I marched in Pride wearing a goddamn motherfucking corporate polo shirt one year and I still haven’t recovered from how awful I felt being there but not as all of my queer self.
Lol.. I used that word purposefully. But yes, I was drinking tea and choked when I read this.. it was all very innocent.
Oh, gotta love this thread. ^^
And what about his delicious chest?
Damn… this was already getting too hot for work. And then you go and post Goldstiltskin. .and with the markings on his face. This makes my smuttiest dreams come to life…
This needs more Goldstiltskin. Just to ram the point home. And then I need a drink.
I love this post.
Just reminded of why we have the best fandom…I really needed this. Also, is it just me or did it get HOT in here?!? Bobby set standards too high for anyone else to follow…
It’s always hot in here, darlin’
Just ‘cause I need me some hot-ass Rumple/Gold/Detective Weaver this Monday morning.
Jeez, smiling at his baby … that one makes my ovaries ACHE.
Ah…this post is a beautiful blast from the past.
I’ll just… leave this here. I think it speaks for itself.
Love all you Dearies! Thank you for filling my dash with Rumple! 😀
That finger movement is unacceptable! He should not be able to make ovaries explode with such a simple movement!
This is a God post!!!! But there isn’t enough sexy imp!Rumple. May I?
I think we need a little more prancing in leather
Obey your thirst…
I made the Go Now shower gif. Would anyone like me to drop that right here? Show of hands?
Yes please! Thank god it’s now in DVD, which I have, so I can look at him in high def, lol
