"Degenerate" is an ugly word, but we all know people to whom it rightfully applies- and without going into detail (and risk violating the terms of service) it usually involves things that are.... lets just say, illegal for very good reasons.
So with that said, who is the bigger degenerate in the following scenario: Person one, who likes being tied up, spanked, and grovelling at the feet of their partner? And engaging in other behavior ranging from deliciously degrading to masochistically arousing? (I need not go into detail here but you get the idea.)
Or person two: An upstanding member of the community, with a wife and family. Completely resolutely vanilla sexually; in fact, believes sex should only be engaged in for the express purpose of procreating, not recreating. However, person two has extensive financial resources and clout with the state and local governments. Person two goes out of their way to publically demonize GLBT people, and anyone involved in the kink lifestyle. But not only that, uses their clout with the local and state governments to target GLBT people. Laws are passed, resulting in freedoms being lost, and people's lives being ruined. Their actions having a far reaching negative impact on far more than just themselves or their partner.
So with that said, which is really the bigger degenerate?
We can all stand together and stand up for ourselves and for who we are. Even when we have different orientations, kinks, likes, limits and dynamics. Stand up for being human and being ourselves and push back against the degenerates.
