lemmy.blahaj.zone are left wing extremists with zero tolerance for anyone who doesn't already believe what they believe. I'm not sure why they don't just defederate themselves. They've been openly upset that people who disagree with them on certain issues keep finding them through the all communities tab and, gasp, disagree with them in the comments.
I don't see how banning everyone who disagrees with you is easier than creating an insulated community of people who do agree with you, but I guess that's their preference.
Blahaj only has one political* take and it's that they support LGBTQ+ if you are shunned from that community chances are you might be the problem.
*(humans living as they please shouldn't be political)
By that logic, why is it a problem if consenting adults express themselves sexually in non-traditional ways?
Historically speaking, there has always been a lot of overlap and connection between kink and LGTBQ+ communities. There was a time not too long ago where simply being gay was considered to be not only a "sexual perversion" but also a "paraphilic disorder" by the psychiatric community. (Not advocating this viewpoint in any way, just pointing out the historical context.) Because of that, the LGTBQ+ community has basically always been an ally of the kink community, and vice versa. And if you visit a pride parade, for example, I think everyone can agree that there is a general vibe of sex-positivity and personal sexual freedom that suggests that there is no "wrong" sexual expression between consenting adults.
That was a brief time well contained within the 20th century.
