Cool idea: having both sexual AND nonsexual LGBT+ spaces because there are multiple groups of people that really need and would appreciate the latter (myself included, still waiting for nice quiet gay cafés to go to), but at the same time we need to acknowledge our history and the criminalization and continued stigmatization of our sexualities that make the former subversive and important, and the uncomfortable implications of people wanting those spaces altered/eradicated. 

Yes, please. I’m ace, and because of my upbringing, will probably always be a bit of a prude. I’m not going to judge you for being as sexual as you want to be. That doesn’t, however, mean that I necessarily want to see it. So if there were places where people could go if sexiness was what they wanted, they would be there, but there would also be places that I would call safe for the public.

To use an analogy, it’d be like the difference between a play party and a munch among kinky folks.
