When asked if he thought this was suitable entertainment for children before Pride, PupChester said no (see screenshot)

So if Pride is a celebration of fetish, why are our police and town councils supporting it so broadly? Why are we closing streets to parade BDSM fans?

Yes Otto I saw that too. Normalising mental disorder and fetish. I feel for some of these people for how they think/feel and how they got there but it should not be perpetuated.

Toxic shame, toxic abuse, toxic masculinity countered with toxic Pride.

This person is highly defensive of his actions.twitter.com/Quiz_Fox/status/1143063560920141824

Apparently one of the kids thought it was a paw patrol tent which makes me really sad for some reason.

I think a campaign is in order for the Corporate sponsored Pride events to confirm if they are family OR kink friendly - it can't be both.

Sorry! third time lucky twitter.com/Quiz_Fox/status/1143063560920141824

@Iggypoppie what a walker that man is. Basically saying 'if you won't tolerate seeing our private fetishes on display in public, then Pride is not for you or children'

• wanker obviously!

Yes @Sunkisses they are completely determined and unapologetic. Sorry to be all identity politics but they are mainly white middle class males who are used to getting their own way.

we have dog show, BBQ, themed littles playgroup, dungeon..

what, what?

Am I reading this wrong are are they proposing that adults take their children with them to this camping event and leave them in the 'themed (erm, what theme?) playgroup while they go and enjoy the dungeon? because that's how it reads to me

reading further down, I think the 'littles' playgroup is probably for adults who like to pretend to be children?

It's okay Sunkisses, we can just explain to the kids what it is. Maybe someone is working on a picture book.

although given the nature of the group, I'm guessing the 'littles' pretend to be children and then participate in sexual activity, which is frankly incredibly fucking worrying

We will pay the price in years to come.
Scandalous.

And the Police are complicit! They are actually being groomed in plain sight (no pun intended). Regulatory capture by trans activists, kink/fetish and on the horizon - minor attracted people as another 'sexual minority'. Cannot believe this is happening, 2019 has been a really eye opener so far.

Jesus christ. It's the word "play" coming up over and over. They can't cope with adult sexuality so, like furries, they try and make it cutesy or cartoonish. Very disturbing they are allowed anywhere near actual children.

To be, pride should be child friendly, in a way to show that relationships don’t just have to be between men and women.

It’s a way of normalising gay relationships.

Kink, fetishes and BDSM should not be part of pride. It’s not a sexual orientation. It’s a fetish. Something that you are more than welcome to do...but in the privacy of your own home or private clubs that have been set up for this.

This “pup” with a bone on in front of children is disgusting.

He is clearly getting off on the idea

But that's just it. It's becoming a part of identity in the way sexual orientation always has been.
My names Stealth and I am straight/bi/a lesbian.
Whether I have sex in the missionary position with the lights off, or swinging from the chandeliers wearing a zippy from rainbow outfit used to be just part of my private life/current hobbies. Now it's an intrinsic part of who I am and how I identify.

But why does your whole identity have to be on public display? There are loads of bits of my life that are core to me but are also private...

Or why do your current sexual preferences have to be part of identity

It's like that person who left their transman strapon in the bathroom and enjoyed telling their kid it was for having sex with. So self absorbed that zero thought is given to boundaries, safeguarding not least what is appropriate for children to be exposed to. And yep he's definitely got a stiffie. And why is that surprising, dressing up as a dog turns him on.

The way you like to have sex will inevitably be part of your identity, how you see yourself and how others that know about it see you

And I’ve got no problem with that, it’s just private

So for me the point of Pride is to make it fine to be open about the people you love in your life, not about how you like to have sex

But surely a preference like that can change. Unlike your sexual orientation which is intrinsic.
I doubt all these people were dressing as dogs a decade ago, or will still be doing so in a decades time. It's a hobby.

I have a lot of salt on my food. It doesn't make me who I am and I suspect will change after my first health check!

your hobbies are part of your identity though. I am a person who enjoys doing jigsaws on long winter evenings (that was me coming out by the way - I do feel strangely embarrassed about that fact!)

having salt on his food is definitely part of my FILs identity, he has drifts of it, despite finger wagging from the doctor

the things you like to do, the people you love, your job, where you choose to live, it's all part of your identity, that negotiated state between how you see yourself and how society sees you.

It's just that some of the things that make up your identity should only be shared with appropriate people. and the whole of fucking Lancaster doesn't count as appropriate when that thing is 'I get a boner when I put on a leather puppy mask'

your identity isn't fixed, it's an ever changing thing

I am sniggering at that last line of your very reasonable post :)
Interesting. What is identity. You're right it does change over time but surely elements are fixed.
