if your first response to “there’s nothing wrong with gay people kissing in front of kids” is “well i think nobody of ANY orientation should kiss in front of kids!!” then ur missing the point entirely
the fact of the matter is that kids have seen straight people kiss their entire lives regardless of if you agree with it or not, and gay people are often forbidden to express their sexuality around kids and abused and vilified for doing so. gay people kissing or otherwise showing affection around kids will do nothing to hurt them, and will only normalize the existence of gay people for those kids which will benefit everyone in the long run. if you don’t support gay people having the freedom to exist visibly everywhere then you don’t support gay people!
how come ace exclusionists can make entire blogs dedicated to posting weird shit in the ace positivity tag and mostly get ignored but one ace person says something in poor taste and every ace person on this website suddenly has to be able to prove theyre not “one of the bad ones” to be taken seriously
like so far i have seen one (1) post by a 15 year old about how ppl kissing at pride makes them uncomfortable, and dozens of condescending posts telling ace people not to come to pride events because there will be gay people there kissing
also: fake troll ace blogs purposefully saying bigoted/weird/embarrassing stuff and everyone falling for it (either out of willful ignorance or not)
It’s exhausting, especially as someone who tries to avoid the discourse and is in the main acronym regardless of asexuality. I shouldn’t have to see the hate. The many of us who mind our business, who are respectful of the gay and trans communities and may be a part of them ourselves, shouldn’t have to put up with obsessed freaks making a hobby out of shoehorning hate onto our dashboards under the guise of positivity and outside observers accepting really obvious aphobe sock puppet accounts at face value.
if you’ve never been to pride before, this pride season i want to encourage you to give it a chance if you can and not be deterred by whatever scary things you may have heard on the internet. for example, i’m bi and i’ve been to dozens of prides, in big cities and small towns, and have never once had anyone demand to know my identity or suggest that i shouldn’t be there. god knows pride celebrations have their share of problems, but being out in public surrounded by other lgbt people having fun and being themselves is an incredible thing that you deserve to experience for yourself before you decide it’s too good to be true.
