[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live on 17th St and love it, so I hope it goes without saying that i support the LGBTQ+ community.

However, I just walked home from work and there was a drag queen dancing and stripping at the intersection with Q St, and doing it in a way that my 4 year old would definitely ask about.

I have been to parades in my home city (of 4 million people) and they have been fun, but I did see adults in gimp pleather suits being led on all fours and by leashes, and all kinds of other things that my son would definitely ask about. I think it's much too early for those conversations, so we won't be going. The family area sounds like fun, but I still think we'll give it a miss.

I do hope it goes without a hitch, though!  It's a much needed vote of support for diversity and individual freedoms, and sadly as relevant as ever with the current administration and violent incidents around the world (the latest one on the London tube being particularly disturbing as the perpetrators were 15-18 years old).
