Vancouver 'Sex Positive' Activist Drops Out of Local Election Amid Masturbation Video Scandal

You gotta give it up for Robert Stacy McCain and his #RadFem blogging. Some of the whacked out women he finds are just too hilarious. Check out this "sex positive" LGBT activist Trish Kelly of the "Vancouver Vision" party. Turns out the lady goes for the "solo sex" every night, lol. Prolly shouldn't have been making selfie videos however, heh.

Here, "Canadian Candidate Drops Out After Masturbation Video Surfaces":

Let's face it, if you're a Canadian feminist, masturbation "pretty much every night" probably isn't unusual. http://t.co/smoIGMMcvl

I’m going to take a wild guess that the recommended “inclusive approach” to “gender-variant community members” might be somewhat controversial even in liberal Vancouver. And I’m going to take another wild guess that Ms. Kelly’s masturbation video — which highlighted her bisexual queer femme “sex-positive activism” — might have caused some voters to wonder, “What kind of long-term agenda is Vision Vancouver pursuing, if they’re willing to put this kinky weirdo on the Park Board, to eradicate ‘the gender limitations and constraints of today’?”

More at the Vancouver Sun, "Why Trish Kelly’s masturbation video was more trouble for Vision Vancouver than for her":

As everyone who cares now knows, Kelly, a performance artist, quit the Vision campaign Thursday after a risqué video she did in 2006 about masturbation began floating around. Kelly never made any secret about her views, and she has an extensive body of literary and video work touching on her self-described attitudes as a “sex-positive” and “queer” artist.

It appears that body of work and fears that it may [be] “dribbled out” over the coming months of the election by unnamed people, may now be what caused Vision to have “several conversations” about whether it might be better for her to throw in the towel now.

Both Kelly and Vision co-chair Maria Dobrinskaya acknowledge that the potential public attention presented “a growing distraction” to the campaign. But here’s the thing: a distraction to whose campaign? Kelly has never shied away from what she is or does, and in fact looked forward to using her office, should she be elected, to espouse some of those views.
