#puritans in my queer community
We NEED to put sex and magic back on the pride flag right now
I’m fed up of people being like yea we need magic but not the sex one, sex positivity is vital to the lgbtq+ community it is not invalidating to asexual people to celebrate gay sex as something that is positive and beautiful and natural. We should be celebrating all the aspects of our community and this can include both asexuals and sex positivity
Yeah hi, ace person here.
When asexuality is seen as a sexual perversion, as an explicit deviation from the norm that you, as an adult, will have these sexual roles tied to your gender and will perform these sexual acts in these ways with these frequencies,
which if fucking is,
then trying to act like supporting purity culture as a way to make ace people feel more comfortable and protect them from things they mightnot want to see, that starting to label things as being “for kids and aces” as if ace people are just immatureor incapable of maturation, that pretending that asexuality is somehow inexorably different from other queer sexualities and needs to be held as a completely separate thing and isolatedfor fear of offense,
is doing nothing but burying your head in the fucking sand and hoping that purity culture and queerphobic attitudes will leave ace folks alone. (They won’t.)
The point isn’t and has never been “Sex Good” or “Sex Bad.”
The point is that it is your fucking right to doornot do whatever kinds of sexual activities in whatever ways you want to so long as you and your partner(s) consent(s) to it.
SO YES, WE FUCKING DO NEED THE SEX AND MAGIC BACK ON THE FLAG THIS FUCKING INSTANT.
