That's the way equality is. It's not a question of 'us' 'giving' exposure to anyone. Every adult is free to do whatever they damn well like providing they don't infringe the same rights of others. Doesn't matter what their bits are like - you don't have to look at them if you don't want to. All those people are 'us'.
