Same. I don't have anything against anything people might be into, I'm just not comfortable with some of these tropes becoming the face of a very diverse group of people.I mean I dont have anything about being flamboyant. My issue comes more from the people dressing in jockstraps in the middle of the day and some of the behavior that simply seems toxic.
I don't feel oppressed, but I do feel alienated when I see local coverage of one of these events.We have much bigger issues than giving into stereotypes. We shouldn't be any less than we should be if we want yet the choice to act according to how we want should be on our own will as long as it doesn't oppress and harm anyone else. Same goes for much marginalized groups in society. (I've been typing on mobile so my words may seem iffy)
