It's clear to me that the term "puriteens" is an attempt to shame young teens (minors! kids!) into being more sexual. Disgusting groomers.

Perhaps most importantly, there isn’t any actual data suggesting that young people are any more puritanical or sex-negative than their forebears.

Yet these teens are still not sexual enough for these predators.

that there is nothing inherently sexualized or disturbing about a man in BDSM gear and the onus should be on parents to explain such things to children or steer them toward more overtly family-friendly Pride events; and also, who the fuck cares.

who the FUCK cares about sexual consent?? either explain BDSM to your young children or FUCK OFF you homophobic Republican piece of SHIT

This discourse is not entirely organic: much of it is pushed by far-right bad actors attempting to promote homophobic talking points. It’s also not new, like, at all. “There’s always been discussion of how family-friendly the Pride parade [should be], or when I was a little baby gay, whether drag queens should be on floats, and if we were ‘flaunting’ our sexuality,” millennial author and activist Leo Herrera told me. “It tends to come from the more corporate conservative side who is really concerned we are presenting stereotypes or that we won’t be accepted or it’ll cost us funding or press. It’s the same conversation repackaged.”
