While I think Pride Parades are a great opportunity for families to enjoy and support and for gay kids to feel part of something, that's just my personal opinion, and as a result I would feel it best it be all-age-appropriate.
However, it's important to remember Pride started as a riot and a protest and for most of history has been just that - it's never been a family-friendly event up until more recently, and there is a complexity in 'toning down' the reality of the event to suit a heteronormative society...
Here is a good article on it: https://www.businessinsider.com/kink...history-2021-6
I guess a perfect balance would be to have some family friendly acts/activities early on during a pride festival, and then the pride parade be for adults only. |
Hi.
What age are these gay kids you mentioned?
