[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No we don't go. That overtly sexual, half naked, raunchy atmosphere is not what I want my kids idea of being gay to mean. I prefer my kids think that LGBTQ people are just like everyone else rather than the circus / freak show aspects of pride. Sexual orientation is about more than gyrating and being naked and being overtly sexual.

When I was a teen, my work hosted a large LGBTQ event. It was awful. Very overtly sexual with us as teens having to watch displays of sexual activity, mock sex, crude sexual comments to us as teens, grabbing and slapping the butts of teen guys working. Hundreds of men and women (mostly men) who made me see LGBTQ in a whole new light. I would never expose my kids to that with straight people, why would I expose to that with LGBTQ people. [/quote]

You’ve never attended a music festival? My DD was an intern at two different local radio stations and now is employed by a third. Drunk adults sometimes cross barriers regardless of sexual orientation. [/quote]

Nope, we have never been to one of the music festivals where the atmosphere is all about sex and sexual activity. I wouldn't take my kids to that either. I have been to many music festivals but they are just people dancing, singing, swaying, and drinking.  [/quote]
