    Jefferey Epstein didn’t kill himself.

    Before he didn’t kill himself, he infamously ran some sex clubs.

    These would be well-known examples representing a subset of what I would consider to be “problematic” sex clubs.

    I would not want to be a part of a pride celebration where clubs like those have representation.

    Pride is about throwing bricks at cops and celebrating our suppressed diversity, not the kinds of sex clubs that politicians go to. Pride is about tearing down hierarchies and problematic power dynamics, not fetishizing them. Or, at least, that’s my understanding of pride having never been to any sort of pride event. I know the history with stonewall and all of that, and that’s my picture of pride and what it should be.

    The kinds of sex clubs that politicians go to are the only kinds of sex clubs of which I am aware, so I’m skeptical of sex clubs being represented at pride.
