Sorry I meant to say Grand Knight, my mistake.

“It … strikes me as the wrong approach for their purported goals,” Kapusnick said. “These are groups that are supposed to be working for greater justice, greater tolerance, and this week … sends the message that anything but complete sexual openness is wrong.”

I thought a big part of the discussion was about countering the objectification of people (esp women) in porn, and included a dialogue about celibacy as being included in “sex positive.” I think the Pope actually agrees that porn can be demeaning and that chastity is a sexual virtue?

But, more to the Grand Wizard’s point. He seems to be suggesting that these groups need to be trying to encourage some “mainstream” society to accept them and their deviant behaviors. Tell us more, Joe. What’s the right way to get you to like us? How can we win your acceptance on your terms?

Have the Knights ever held a sex debate of their own? I’d like to see that.

I’d like to point out that Monday night’s event about what it means to be sex positive with the speaker from the Woodhull Foundation and the speaker from a local BDSM group was held in Reiss, not in Gaston. The reporter should be more conscientious in checking facts next time instead of listening to sources who obviously did not attend the event. Also, one of the sex positive week events addresses the ideas of virginity and celibacy and how they are incorporated into sex positivity.
