To those who accused me of homophobia, let me say this:
My concern is not with gay people, Pride, or LGBTQ+ expression. If ever the government tries to outlaw you, I'll be out there in the streets to defend your rights.
My concern is with pornography of any kind being posted on large general-purpose instances without strong containment.
Sexual content should be clearly labelled, opt-in, and kept out of general public discovery. That should apply equally regardless of orientation.
Adding the NSFW hashtag, a CW and blurring images is not a sufficient firewall.
I support free expression, but free expression still needs sensible boundaries so public social spaces remain usable for people who do not want explicit sexual material in their feed.
People who want to post or view legal pornographic content should go to or set up specialist instances.
