Kink Has Always Been a Part of Pride
If you go to Pride, you consent to see the people who have always been at Pride. "We are here now so you have to go away" is the logic of an asshole.
The distinction between kink and queerness is a social construct; some of the straights will always see being a trans woman as a fetish, for example. Once you justify excluding kink, it will be only a matter of time until some of us are considered kinky just for existing.
Once, being gay in public was an extreme act. Telling some members of the community that others "don't consent to see them" is absolutely an act of shaming kink. Your cognitive dissonance is astonishing.
Yes, kinky queers absolutely do have more of a place at Pride than boring ass assimilationist weirdos like yourself. It was the freaks who threw the bricks. It's the freaks who stand at the line to protect the other freaks. It's the freaks I can rely on.
