Is Pride exempt from public indecency rules?

Why shouldn't kids be able to attend Pride?

Don't bring your kids to pride then!!! It's very bloody easy.

I'm just refuting the argument that it's something new

But it's also obvious there is an undercurrent of homophobia even if people are acting like there isn't

Charming.

You said I know, but quite frankly, all you have to do is use your eyeballs 😅 when I pointed out that Pride events generally promote themselves as being family friendly and gs r no 18+ earnings on their website.

Yes I’ve been to a Pride event.

I have no idea why I have to read some ‘well written texts’ on the history of Pride in order to point out that public nudity and fetish is nit ‘family friendly’.

Anyone who doesn't understand what the Pride march is London is like and wants to go with their kids,

Are you suggesting that despite their claims, we should assume that Pride is full of men displaying their sexual fetishes and is therefore utterly unsuitable for children? I

According to Pride history, gay men worked hard to dispel any links with paedophiles and inappropriate behaviour around children as a myth though??

Sexualised behaviour in public is not appropriate. Sex is great, but it belongs in private, not in public spaces in the middle of the day.

Sadly, they are the special caste and apparently exempt from the normal rules.

So you think it's acceptable for arses to be out at an event that's public and not age censored?

Sorry you felt forced to share that story 😥. What a horrible experience for you. I hope life is treating you well.

People like that poster will only ever defend the loudest coolest cause. Everyone else becomes cannon fodder.

Let's hope we don't break out into a war. That poster will be cowering behind all her chap wearing blue haired non binaries whilst they'll be running over her to get away and suit themselves.

Making the argument that pride has always been about fetishes isn’t quite the flex you think it is.

To be fair to what I said, your daughter could have walked out of Oxford st to far worse if some serious protest was going on, which it does from time to time in cities. I tend to not go on any big London match days either as can be intimidating with drunk football hooligans

Straight men like arses too

Doesn't make them sexual

I think a gay man might disagree with you there... 😅

I think some people are either incredibly naive, or just want to be seen as totally cool and liberal and forget about safeguarding as long as no one can accuse them of being a bigot.

Leather and thongs have been part of Pride for as long as there's been Pride

You are so beyond deluded! Strawberry chocolate hasn’t the habit of using itself to dominate and abuse other people. As a child abuse survivor who was abused by a man using his sexual fetishes on me I don’t want to have to avoid looking and constantly anxious about seeing these perverts displaying their kinks to anyone around them. How about they keep it to themselves in their private homes or at some kink party where everyone has consented to see it. The world doesn’t revolve around men’s penises and arses and their right to shove them wherever they want! Oh wait it’s seems it does with people like you around to defend them!

It's about men dressing how they want to dress....

That’s what women and children need to do. Look the other way, walk the other way. You’re a homophobe if you challenge this behaviour.

Arses aren't inherently sexual

And what hours that? In our local city it's not uncommon to be seeing it at 7pm on freshers night or other student celebrations. Parents don't have to voluntarily take their children to pride either.

No way, these people should be in jail, if they’re not already.

So how far does your acceptance go exactly? Do you have any boundaries for minority groups ? Because you seem to have a lot for the majority? Or does your tolerance and acceptance only work one way ?

You sound just like the woman who said that the 9 yr old girl should ‘just look away’ when confronted by the erect penis of a trans identifying male (who turned out to be a convicted sex offender) in the naked women’s sauna.
