Is it OK to bring kids to gay pride events?

I have no idea what the Belgrad city soccer derby is or is like, so I have no idea. I can't intelligently speak to it, and from what you're saying, I'm assuming that the behavior isn't great. Soccer has a reputation for being that way though, whereas sports like baseball and basketball have much better reputations overall.
If it were something where I thought that there would be no lewd behavior, such as the event that another poster mentioned where it was held at an art gallery, I would have little issue. My only hesitation to that event would be that it dealt with sexuality at all, so if the kids and I haven't had a "birds and the bees" talk, I wouldn't bring them to an event dealing with sexuality of any kind. If they were older, then sure.
What I don't want to do is take young children and expose them to things I consider to be graphic sexuality. I understand that we may have some cultural differences on this, but I wouldn't want to expose young kids to 2 men making out in speedos for the same reasons I wouldn't want to expose them to a heterosexual couple making out in revealing swimwear. I just don't want to normalize those kinds of public displays of affection to young kids. I'd like to completely remove the topic of sexuality until they're a little older, and from that point, I'd like for them to then develop a healthy understanding of it rather than learn about it from public displays of affection, what they see in movies or TV, learning about sex through porn, etc.

Yeah fair enough. I have never been to a gay pride parade.
I don't think I will ever go to one I might would have 20 years ago when there was still a cause to be fought over.
But if I think there is concern from a sexual nature I certainly wouldn't take my children.

Ok back in the closet you go!
 
Americans are so strange.
They think it is the end of the world when their kids see a naked dude on the street.
So what a bunch of guys are kissing and run around naked. I certainly would prefer my children get in contact with that early while I can explain to them what is happening.

I would have a much bigger problem exposing my children to religion than to the gay community.

Sweet Jesús! <{CMPALM}>
 
I don't know anyone who would want to bring their kid to an event with a bunch of naked straight people doing the same as those in the gay pride events either. I'm sure they are out there, but I don't know who they are.

Bizarre that it's not implicit, but probably fantasy fest in Key West is the closest straight thing, and you're a bad parent if you take your kids to that too.

Depends on how old the kid is. But I would probably explain that there are doing that as a form of protest for equality.
I mean how are you going to explain to your kid if they watch a Nicki Minaj or Miley music video. Or how would you explain that there are half naked chicks dancing before a football game? It's the same thing. Gay stuff just makes people uncomfortable.

I wouldn't take a little kid to a Nicki Minaj concert either. Are you referring to cheerleaders as half naked chicks dancing before a football game, and then saying that's the same as what amounts to an orgy in the street? I'm not sure why this is so difficult, but there is no reason to intentionally expose your kids to overt sexual displays regardless of who's doing it.

I have never been to a gay pride parade either. When I was very young, I was apparently in the vicinity of one in San Fransisco. However, my dad noticed it passing by about 6 blocks ahead of us, and he diverted the family so as not to expose his children to it. Being an oblivious little kid (like 5 years old), I didn't even notice that there was a parade up ahead.

The cause is mostly won, and that's a good thing. For most things, I don't really believe in the power of parades to change things. What shaped my opinion was my mom's high school friend who is gay and has been living with his husband for almost 30 years. When people were talking about the merits of gay marriage, they were who I thought of. I thought that if a celebrity could be married for a weekend and/or be on their 8th marriage while these committed partners were barred from the same institution, then there was obviously something wrong with the system. I also have pretty libertarian beliefs, so people should generally be able to do what they want to, provided that they aren't hurting people. And even if they are, as long as they are both cool with it, I'm more lenient, haha. Two guys want to fight in the parking lot because some words were exchanged? Sure thing, let them have it out. I'm open to idea of dueling if two people really hate one another and agree to it, but it would require some important provisions. I understand that this last one is unpopular, so it's not worth pushing it.
 
You want to wait until a kid is 12 or 13 to explain sexuality?
That seems like a recipe for disaster to me. IMO the best is to be open about it right from the start.
They are going to see it anyway might as well prepare them for it in a reasonable.

Also just to be clear I wouldn't personally take my kids to a gay pride parade.
It's a real buzzkill having to look after your kid when you are dancing in your speedos.
Do you have kids? I do. My oldest just turned 12. We started talking to her about certain things with boys and what not when she started hitting her puberty (not 12 or 13 a tad earlier) which was completely appropriate as opposed to talking about that stuff with my 6 yr old boy. He doesn't need any sexuality exposure, how fuckin dumb would that be? It's not even on the kids mind, it's not natural and whenever he sees his mom and dad give each other a kiss he covers his eyes and goes; "yuck!". It's cute, innocent and appropriate, not educating him on sex, gays and exposing them to PDAs by adults.

Get a brain moran.

No. Pedophilia has serious consequences on others by victimizing children and their families. Transexuals don't victimize anyone else. In fact, Libertarians should celebrate this fact as it is up to the person to make their own choice. There is no slippery slope.

I'm libertarian and have no problem with transexuals living their lives. If that's how they want to live cool. But it's still a mental disorder.
 
only if they participate.
 
I do not respect the LGBTQ community, they are authoritarian in their methods and in their thinking (Are they letting gay cops march this year?) Given that, combined with the fact that gay parades are lewd, no, I will not take children to them, how is this even a question?

I now have greater sympathy for atheists and anti-theists who once complained about the indoctrination of their children via religion. I get it. You teach your children what you think is right, I'll teach my children the same. That means getting all this gender-bending nonsense out of schools; I'm in no way buying the reasons they give as to why my kids should learn that you can be whatever sex you want. These are sick people who want to push their ideas on to children because the ideas don't make sense to anyone else.
 
I don’t like how a simple PHQ-9 questionnaire equals a prescription to an SSRI rather than looking deeper into the issue on why they failed the “test”. There is never any mention of exercise or diet which have been shown to improve symptoms. Never any deeper questioning into what helps them. If one pill doesn’t work we just try another pill.

Regardless of my criticisms of the field I still feel like biology supersedes psychology and psychiatry as being more concrete. This is why I personally feel transgender means something is wrong mentally. I don’t care if it’s included in the DSM.
Whole lot of feels here, from the party of "fuck your feels" IMO
 
No, kids shouldn’t be anywhere near gay people.

It’s also not ok to take gay people to kids events.
 
I would keep my children far away from that disgusting parade of degeneracy. Nobody should be supporting such filth.
 
Prepare yourself for state enforced homosexuality, goys. All white kids get in line for their mandatory pozzing.

It's also amazing how you can have the entire corporate establishment supporting you and still cry about oppression and victimhood, like the whole world is out to get you.

Even Donald 'Literally Hitler' Trump is hardly anti LGBT or homophobic.

A lot of these people are just professional whiners who will never be happy or appeased. Meanwhile ask them what they think about Islam and watch the hilarity ensue.

Agreed, they refuse to move on from their oppressed narrative and it's hurting their credibility.
 
How? Gay pride events are filth on every corner of the globe and gay sex is inherently filthy. They’re a public health risk but a simple sentence is dramatic? Lol
If that is what you think, Whatever. just as I think the comment is fairly dramatic, like the mere presence of them sets you on edge. Just funny to me.
