I have just been googling Pride around the world.

Seattle 100’s of naked men parading and jiggling their bits and offensive language at anyone suggesting they should cover up.

New York, descending into brawls, even ripping people’s clothes off.

London, fettish clothing, obscene placards spoiling it for the rest. It was good to see the Armed Forces and Service marching.

Still not convinced Pride is for children…

Pride is for everyone, truly, every single one of you would be welcomed

Do we need to discuss further how Pride is set up to include children as a positive experience or does everyone now feel comfortable with children attending?

My name is Violet

And I am right here...

It's impossible to like or dislike someone you don't know.

They may have a totally different persona online than in real life 🤔

Thank you Callistemon213.

Reasonable people know that, which is why, as a reasonable person, I ignored VS’s comment.

A great picture Wyllow and that's what I call marching with Pride .

All good my end

Mollygo are you ok?

I know you don't like me very much but this is all very unnecessary

🤣🤣🤣🤣
I often feel the same about your posts.

I could claim to speak for everyone at Pride but I don't.

I’m so glad to hear that.
It would be incredible puffery, were you to do so, and also untrue.

Well done for refraining.

Mollygo The available context will tell you several things

1. that is a question in response to other comments

2. I attend Pride

3. I have defended Children going to Pride as a positive experience

4. My name is Violet, not VS

Today @13.02 VS you mentioned banning Pride.
Here’s the quote.
Should Pride be banned?

I answered.

Mollygo

Sorry that was in answer to VS not BS.

Neither is in answer to me

1, my name is Violet, that's my name, I quite like it, my Dad gave it to me

2, Whatever comment you are replying to wasn't made by me anyway

I must admit I was surprised but proud of armed forces allowed.

It's been a long time coming Wyllow, too long.

Yes, always the way on a lot of marches/footy and always very frustrating when they eat up the headlines.
I was surprised but pleased to see to was OK to be gay from armed forces tho in the London clip.

the only disruption being people in rainbow costumes who were decidedly drunk and waving bottles such a shame for the genuine participants Molly.

Sorry that was in answer to VS not BS.

Really BS?
Why would you want to ban Pride. Some people enjoy it. The local one fills the town centre.
The police this year remarked on the relatively peaceful occasion, the only disruption being people in rainbow costumes who were decidedly drunk and waving bottles.
I wouldn’t take children because of that and because some of the participants think it’s clever to wear really vulgar costumes, like the one outside the library-remember that one?

Nobody is forced to go.

The funny thing is, we’ve seen that if females have a gathering proclaiming pride in being female, there is always violence offered from TRA.

Out of curiosity looked up London Pride march

There is what GG13 describes but also London Fire Brigade, and armed forces marching. Asked DS and he said OK for 11 yr old to go, lots of explaining can be done in the right sort of way under parent control .Bits of the parade make me think of Mardi Gras dressing up.

Yes, I remember DD going to big parades in Sydney. It was a huge affair there before here, called the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

VioletSky you do not know me or my friends, how dare you tell me what I can post!!!

I didn't but I don't think it is right to speak for others in an effort to prove a point...

I could claim to speak for everyone at Pride but I don't

I could claim to speak for everyone at Pride but I don't
Goodness me - are they all your friends?

I presume GrannyGravy knows her friends (it would be odd if she didn't) and knows their opinions.

Up to the parents, not "necessary". Just part of life. Depends where you live, too, my GC live back of beyond and see very little of life.

Wyllow3 I can se that it could/would lead to having conversations with an eleven + child.

I just question is it necessary for a stereotypical straight family to take children to Pride.
