Wear a leather jacket how you damn well please. Have one belt, or take two into the shower. It doesn't matter. There's no Big Book of How To Be A Real Leatherman. Some clubs have dresscodes. Some don't. Find a place where YOU feel comfortable, because it's not about anyone else.

@aigroe @LaraAdamsMille1 I once had a bunch of racists claim that an attack on me in Amsterdam was by immigrants. Completely false, but they didn't care, because their racism was more important than my bruises. This looks pretty damn similar, and just as disgusting.

I often get mail from people who say "I want to join BLUF, but I'm a sub, I don't feel comfortable in full uniform." Think military. You're presenting yourself smartly, to please your Dom. The polishing, the preparation, the presentation - all can be aspects of submission.

@sacha_coward I've had a few of them try to call me out by saying "Queer is a homophobic slur." Unlike them, I've had it shouted at me in the street. I've also shouted it myself on demos and understand context. They say they care, but really it's only about a narrow assimilationist cohort.

Personal opinion: a lot of people into leather and kink will tell you that very often, a mental and emotional connection is as important as - or sometimes more than - outright physical attraction. Finding someone who shares the same kinks, thinks the same way about them etc.

@sacha_coward Ultimately, they think there are "good gays" and "bad gays" The 'good' ones are the GCs, and the ones who don't want kink at Pride, or drag queens reading books to kids. The rest of us are freaks; trans-loving, bisexual, pervert freaks. And they'll come for us, as well.

Over my many years of approving photos, I have seen an awful lot where people are presumably trying to look masterful or butch by sticking one finger up at the camera. Pretty much without exception, they actually look like they're about to do a prostate exam.

The closure is a business decision, totally separate from local election results, and only by coincidence has it been announced relatively soon after the vote. Please, don't let people try to make this into an "us vs them" thing, when it absolutely is not.

Pride is cancelled in Oslo, and there is sorrow and shock in our hearts. But let there be anger too; as we march in other cities this summer, remember that Pride means standing up, and fighting back, just as it did at Stonewall. Today, we mourn. Tomorrow, we organise.
