That is a stock photo of one of many thousands of pride marches

Exactly

How does it help matters by having the F word on a t-shirt .

This whole bells and loud whistles approach is just scaring people away .

Yes, because that photo of a Pride parade, in which no children are visible, and an American flag is, was clearly taken at an event at a London primary school

I swear some people don't actually think before they react and jump to conclusions on here sometimes

Well it was a bad example photo to use .

Even if you disagree with it ,it's still the parents choice to allow or not allow their kids to be apart of it .

I thought LGBT parades were for adults anyway ?!

Right so because one or two uneducated parents don't want it to happen that means none can attend?

So would people rather that kids never know that homosexuality exists until they're at secondary school? Pretend that gay people are not a part of society? School is meant to teach kids about the world around them and making them aware of the lgbt community is a part of that and the pride aspect conveys a positive message so that they won't then find it weird or uncomfortable when they get older

That’s because they do lmao
That’s 90% of all of this

I don't know about you, but I'd much rather primary school age kids were taught what being gay is rather than passively using it as an insult or an excuse to bully other kids, often being taught no better by their parents (source: someone who went to a primary school)

I don't find it a coincidence that this thread springs up the same day as a "favourite branch of Christianity?" thread, either

If my son's school did this I would proudly attend. He does know about LGBT issues as I have gay friends and their relationships are as normal to him as any. He doesn't think of it in a sexual way obviously, just that Paul and Chris love each other are together like Vickie and Rob. No big deal.

If all kids were the same then homophobia would slowly diminish and we can all live our own lives without worrying about who is with who regardless of gender

Homophobes won, I guess?

Disgusting parents.

I question the need for it. The problem i see with it at a primary school age is that it is highlighting that there are different groups where really they shouldn't give a crap. The focus should be on everything is normal, not, certain groups need a special event.

Congrats on missing the point of pride entirely

[montblanc]

i never understand how people can make the 'shoving LGBT down our throats' argument but claim they aren't homophobes
