Messaggio originale di gugnihr:

What really matters the most is this: should Pride events be allowed to be not suitable for children? I would say no. I think that nobody, gay or straight, should be allowed to do certein things and behave in certain ways in public spaces. And the main reason for me is not the fact that I care about children because I don't, the main reason is that I care about human dignity and decency.

they would have to ban alcohol from any kind of public event with that ruleset

means no kid should visit any celebration ever

People don't throw dildos around during the World Series.

was more refering to "a child should be exposed to something they completely understand" since Im sure most kids dont understand >90% of the celebrations, I guess we could even ban christmas with that argument

This is something I don't care about because I prefer soda and I usually don't drink alcohol at all, but anyway I have been to various events where alcohol was allowed and most times people behaved normally, only a couple of times things went downhill which means that the real problem is something else, not just "alcohol".

Nah, keep the kids out of it.

I'm pretty sure that most parents bringing their kids to pride events are already gay, or their kids are already old enough to know they're gay. They're definitely old enough to realise they have two dads or two moms from quite an early age. Be kind of hard to hide that one.

So, like, what's the ultimate difference here? Kids aware that gay people exist are going to find out that gay people definitely really do exist even more than they ever thought before, or kids old enough to realise they're gay are going to... see a couple of floats and loads of people waving banners and maybe feel some degree of kinship. My God, the corruption they will undergo.

It's not exactly Folsom Street Fair or similar. Most events worldwide are strictly PG and that's PG because someone somewhere might swear. Last pride event I think I witnessed was probably in Glasgow and that was just a sea of people wearing occasionally brightly coloured clothing but with often very brightly coloured flags. If you think that's obscene, don't watch the Olympic opening ceremony. And it easily could have been obscene, as it was Glasgow.


And that's gay in the sense of, well, you know, the whole umbrella for the sake of brevity.

Be gay, be straight, be a hundred things in between i don't care but no.
Of course, no.

In New Zealand, we have a "Boobs on Bikes" parade once a year. Topless females riding around on the back of motorbikes. It was done during school hours, but a few would sneak out to watch it. The complaint against it was when it was once done during the school holidays and some young children saw it. That's a straight event as such for a comparison.

As for Pride events, I didn't consider them being nude? What's the problem?

It's entirely up to the parents.

Depending on the event content, if restricted, just consider doing it during school hours if that's the issue?

Pride events near me have naked men dancing.

Of course, I don't see why not.

[☮ne✟rue𝓢ax☯n]

I wouldn't let my kid go. However, once they hit 16, they can then go if they choose too.

Pride events near me have naked men having too much fun in public. Not for children.

People who undress in public (apart from nude beaches / clubs) should be arrested. It has no place in a public pride event (or other event outdoors where anybody and everybody can attend)

Messaggio originale di Noc:

It is not appropriate to introduce sexuality to minors.

Their cis-parents kissing is already introducing sexuality to minors. You just have double standards. You are the one, who is sexualizing LGBTQ+ people, because that is all you see in them.
