I've seen a lot on people in twitter discussing wether people should do "kinks"(?) in pride because they might scar the children for life and other arguments. Also calling people like the youtuber Big Joel pedos for thinking this is not a huge deal.

What happened? Maybe this is an american thing but since when have kids been brought to pride?

    I'm a cis het white man, so I don't speak on this type of thing. That's just my philosophy on it. I see it as an internal debate of a marginalized community I have no innate understanding of.

    Personally I find the commoditization of sexuality by corporations to be the most offensive aspect of Pride. But that's like the only opinion I even have formed on the entire event.

    All I know is I worked at a hotel that was on a Pride parade route and a gay men complimented my ass, and another gay man told me I was gorgeous and it was the most validated I've ever felt in my life and I still think about it all the time.
