The kink community has an enemy.

elfsAlmost every kink community in the US is now on the Internet, and now has its own collection of forums, outreach programs, and community events calendar. Monitoring all of these "public" events has become far easier for the finger-waving mavens of morality and now the kink community faces a great challenge.
The organization Americans for Truth about Homosexuality has decided that deriding homosexuals isn't enough. They've declared war on kink and polyamory as well, and are publicizing every public event of any appreciable size in the hopes of discouraging hotels and other conference centers from renting out space to swingers and sadomasochists. (Isn't that a hot pic of Tristan Taormino on the cover, though? You'd think they were trying to sell the whole librarians-into-sodomy fetish.)
I'm fascinated by how this will all play out. All I know is, I'm going to try and head out to my favorite kinkspots more often this year.
