While I agree, in principle, with your argument, I don't want to go the way of the gay community. I prefer the lifestyle to be somewhat secretive. Sure I don't like the stigma attached to it, and I am not ashamed of who I am, and people need to be a little less judgemental. However, I think things will be worse out in the open versus in dungeon. At the end of the day, the gay community fought for acceptance in the vanilla world in a vanilla way. If the BDSM community ends up out in the open, I imagine it will end up right back in the dungeon quick. It is bad enough there are assholes out there who pretend to be in the community and use it as an excuse to beat up and/rape women. If we get full scale acceptance, we may protect ourselves form certain scrutinies, but end up losing protection under vanilla laws (give some sick sheister the oportunity to drag some girl through the mud debating the meaning of 'no'). This is also going to bring undue heat on poly's. I think it is highly unreasonable to think that anyone is going legalize poly marriages. We will become the new ire of bible thumping fucktards, and some cocksucker (like that mormon prick in texas) is going to use our lifestyle as an excuse to do something sick, and we are going to take all the heat for it. I have yet to see the God brigade out protesting in front of a swingers club or BDSM club here in Colorado, and I don't want to start seeing it regularly (and we are so close to focus on the family and the rest of the Godtards in CO springs). Finally, I don't think the average vanilla will ever understand the SM aspect of the lifestyle. I think it is something fundemental to who you are. I don't really see the lifestyle as a choice, but who I am. Everything I do or people do with me is a choice, but I can't imagine living the rest of my life as a vanilla. I would suspect my wife agrees with me too ;). Besides, I like the excitement of the secrecy. It makes it more deviant. It plays more into some of the humilating aspects of play. Those are just my thoughts, but feel free to do what you want, that's ultimately what the lifestyle is all about. ;)
