[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I witnessed a Pride event when I was 8 or 9. BDSM, naked/almost naked men on leashes, etc. It wasn't the most traumatizing thing I experienced as a child, but I won't be taking my own kids. Let them have their innocence.[/quote]

I wonder if this was an 80s thing because I remember seeing a similar event when I was a child. This was in Dupont but I don’t remember if it was a pride event or watt. It must’ve been because why else would I have seen that? It certainly made an impression because it’s stuck with me all of these years.[/quote]

I saw these things at the Pride parade in the late 90s/early 2000s.  I support the Price parade, but because of what I’ve seen in the past, my perception is that this is not a family event. Perhaps the parade has changed.[/quote]

Same, I don’t think it’s a “family” thing unless you have HS+ age kids. Which is fine! Not everything has to be for kids. I have 2 kids and not everything and every place is appropriate for them. [/quote]

Pride isn’t a single thing.  It’s a month long celebration with lots of events to choose from.  Some are definitely not kid appropriate, some are things where kids would be fine but aren’t the target, and some are designed for families or children.

You don’t have to go to any of them, or course but lumping them altogether as not for kids is like judging people for not skipping the pumpkin patch because you heard there was a lot of drinking at some Ghoul Night Pub Crawl and concluded Halloween isn’t for kids.[/quote]
