Respectability-focussed LGBT activist: when you see people in tight pink shorts at Pride you need to remember that it’s part of the show, it doesn’t mean they wear that all the time. They’re normal people with normal lives.

Me, hiding the latex hot pants that I wear to queer parties regularily: yeah, totally. It’s a pride thing. I don’t spend my weekends covered in glitter with ducttape over my nipples at all.
