Sexual and romantic minorities also include asexual and aromantic groups, and to stress sex, especially for groups that hasn't consented, you would thus be excluding and alienating them. I'm all for sex positivity, and an advocate of such, but consent is always and will always be central.

oh no that's not what I meant
I was just using that against their argument with the fact that wearing fetish gear would thus discount other minorities, alongside your point of consent. I've agreed with you for the mostpart in this thread, including with that.

The BDSM consent writeup is relevant here, I think, and should cover that base.
The other people at pride haven't yet consented. You can't wear fetish gear for that reason. However, we also shouldn't be 'clean'; that's what lead to the alienation of the gay community that forced the Stonewall riots that pride marks anyway.
