Yes, kink belongs at Pride. And I want my kids to see it. (WaPo opinion barf alert)
Washington Post ^ | June 29, 2021 | Lauren Rowello

(Excerpt)

Just as we got settled, our elementary-schooler pointed in the direction of oncoming floats, raising an eyebrow at a bare-chested man in dark sunglasses whose black suspenders clipped into a leather thong. The man paused to be spanked playfully by a partner with a flog. “What are they doing?” my curious kid asked as our toddler cheered them on.The pair was the first of a few dozen kinksters who danced down the street, laughing together as they twirled their whips and batons, some leading companions by leashes.At the time, my children were too young to understand the nuance of the situation, but I told them the truth: That these folks were members of our community celebrating who they are and what they like to do.

Children who witness kink culture are reassured that alternative experiences of sexuality and expression are valid—no matter who they become as they mature, helping them recognize that their personal experiences aren’t bad or wrong, and that they aren’t alone in their experiences.

… Including kink in Pride opens space for families to have necessary and powerful conversations with young people about health, safety, consent, and — most uniquely — pleasure. Kink visibility is a reminder that any person can and should shamelessly explore what brings joy and excitement. We don’t talk to our children enough about pursuing sex to fulfill carnal needs that delight and captivate us in the moment. Sharing the language of kink culture with young people provides them with valuable information about safe sex practices—such as the importance of establishing boundaries, safe words and signals, affirming the importance of planning and research and the need to seek and give enthusiastic consent. I never want my children to worry that exploring any aspect of consensual sex or touch is too taboo.

Good Lord! Now “appropriate” sex education has to include safe words? BARF!

Identity politics = sexual perversion pigeon holes. Thank you for this concise definition.

I’m afraid that is what they are headed to - do away with age of consent laws, so kids are allowed to explore their own kink, with whomever.

Next behavior - kids. Let’s start by introducing them to their kink.

Regardless, XIX was and is a major cause of the destruction of our Republic.

Look at how many fools we have ruling us now, (yes I know both sexes, BUT) the Founding Fathers were not misogynistic, just extraordinarily wise.

Evidently. Stripper? Hooker? Who knows? I guess she gets stuff published in mental health publications, too.

Yes, of course exceptions to the rule, Golda Meir, Maggie Thatcher, for example.

The Founding Fathers would NEVER have countenanced the insanity of women in combat military units.

And then one day for no reason at all, people voted Hitler into power.

To be clear, I wasn’t trying to equate them. Many people who claim to be tolerant etc become full of venom over guns. The writer would likely recoil in horror at my re-write, thus disproving her tolerance.

I wouldn't care if I found out that a married couple in my neighborhood was into kink, but do they have to parade it around in public including in front of children? Why is this even allowed?

Oh I forgot. Democrats. But why won't the opposition stop them?

Oh right. Republicans.

These sub-human self described alternative species should be institutionalized.

I actually believe the real eternal torture in hell, will be the compete absence of God. There will be zero love for eternity. It should scare the hell out of people. But most dont realize they are only alive by the grace of God.. We are near the end times. I believe there will be one fire or another. Either our hearts or our world. Its your choice.

Children need to learn that there are monsters other than those that roam the moors at night.
