the LGB civil rights movement is not a social club for all sexual proclivities, it was a fairly simple movement to allow people to openly have relationships with those of the same sex. This whole idea that it is about sexual eccentricities is really disturbing.

As far as people into kink they don’t need civil rights. Loving other people openly in relationships is not the same thing as wanting to wear leather dog masks, or stuffed animal costumes, or dress in your wife’s bloomers openly.

.The latter can all be done in the privacy of your own home or a hotel room which is where sex belongs. You don’t need any civil rights to do any of those things. So unless you want to bring your fetish to work, unless there is a need for this,

Then you don’t need to be under an umbrella of a civil rights movement. LGB is not abt fetish. It is abt the right to have relationships like everyone else. Keep your fetish to yourselves. It is a civil rights infringement when you dictate that I participate by sharing it

Publicly.
As for adding pedophilia to LGB & it not being dangerous unless acted on, the danger is in normalizing it. If you are not acting on it then no one has a reason to know you have the fantasies unless you are looking for validation.

If you’re looking for validation, you’re seeking some level of normalization for it and this is the danger. It has zero to do w/ LGB civil rights. LGB civil rights is not a garbage pail for public sexual proclivities.
