The Fox Den is a favorite blog of mine. He’s a kinky gay man from the Midwest, and I love how he is always working to break down the barriers that stand in the LGBT community:
We still have walls to break down in our communities though. Particularly, the leather/rubber/kink/fetish communities still have a reason to have a Pride parade. We live in a world where it’s still not okay to be “out” and kinky. Most people don’t feel comfortable with their friends, family, and co-workers knowing that someone likes to squeeze into some rubber or leather and get tied up or have casual sex on the weekends. It’s just too much of a taboo subject and most “family” oriented people can’t handle it. Even within our OWN gay community, people who are into kinks are often looked down on.
Make sure to read the whole article, about the smallest pride parade I’ve heard of, and his adventures dancing on a bar stage in skin-tight leather jeans (although, do they still count as jeans if they aren’t denim?).
Tolerance is wonderful, isn’t it?
All my best,
The King of Spades
