Wherein I talk about kink



Written: 10/04/2011

The LGBT community are kind of used to being outcasts.  We’re the underdogs, even if we make the world function from behind the scenes (to say nothing of the so called “glitterati” that conservatives are so afraid of).  But we can more and more acceptance as people realize they know, are friends with and are related to gay people.

The same I think can be said for the kinksters.  The more open they are about their lives, the more accepting the world will be.  And for the record (I think I’ve posted it before), I wish more people would follow the simple advice that I picked up (probably from Dan Savage) along the way:

It doesn’t matter what goes on between my ears, what I have between my legs or what I do between the sheets.  Live and let live, my sex life doesn’t affect you (as I add with snark, ‘but thanks for thinking either that I’d be interested in you or somehow obsessing about me naked’).

ANYWAY…a New York DA lawyer was fired.  Not because she was bad at her job, not because she lost a case, or did something unethical, but because her bosses found out she is a kinkster.  One of my favorite bloggers, who happens to be a gay kinkster, covers it here.

Slog has a great article about kinky celebs here, and Tynan discusses that article here.

All my best,

The King of Spades
