Ophelia, are you being sex-negative again?
No, don’t hit me! I’ll…just let myself out…quietly…through the back door.
No, see, they featured a transgender playmate last year.
See the good they do?
You guys have rightly pinged Playboy, but you’ve overlooked youtube. It has a history of flagging and demonetising ‘coming out’ videos, discussions of gay marriage rights and related politics, support and advice for gay youths that feel isolated, sex ed that doesn’t exclude gay people etc etc.
