ATNS: LGBTQIA+ Pride 2021 – Part 2: Kink

This year for our annual Pride discussion, we have a two-parter – previously we discussed Corporations. Now that we’ve told big business to fuck off with their pandering, let’s piss off even more people with our thoughts on kink being a part of Pride for the LGBTQIA community. 

From COL previous guest Perrin on social media:

Perrin 

So here’s the thing… cause it apparently needs to be said. Wearing a leash in public harms absolutely no one. It violates no consent.

This discourse reeks of “think of the children” and “no kink at Pride” and I’m not here for this sanitization.

For years these types of excuses were used to actively harm homosexuals, transfolk, and anyone else who didn’t fit the public’s perception of normal. Still to this day, we see people crying foul when anyone dares deviate from that norm.

LGBTQIA+ Pride 2021 – Part 1: Corporations

This year for our annual Pride discussion, we have a two-parter. First up, a number of things came into the media sphere for 2021. And the online community had many opinions about the co-opt of PRIDE to make money by companies and especially larger corporations. Some have the opinion that commercialism of human rights causes is evil. Another opinion is that companies pander to the LGBTQIA+ community for one month while working with others against our rights and humanity.

Two years ago a Forbes article advised to be aware of companies with Pride color logos that also donated to anti-gay politicians. 

Now let’s look at 2021, shall we? The Popular Information newsletter can be read online here.

Some examples of online social media accounts that changed their icon to include ‘pride colors’ for the month of June 2021.

And then there is the evolution of community based entities that partner with businesses for PRIDE. GLAAD this year came out with over two dozen partnerships including: Adobe, Audible, Bud Light, Crocs, Fabletics, GAP, Kellogg, Sally Hansen, Samuel Adams, Savage X Fenty, Skittles, Teletubbies, Ugg, Universal Music, Zales.
