(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.

These people no longer have the character to direct their lives.
I’m wondering about ‘her’ parents. What kind of insane home/asylum was she raised in?
They have ruined a perfectly good word. Pride used to be a nice thing. You were proud of your kids. You were proud when you became a Marine.
That word is gone now. It has been co-opted and reserved for use with the meaning: person who practices sex in an abnormal way and is ashamed of it, and who wears pride shirts to attempt to hide his/her shame.
The modern philosophy of “sex positivity” makes all of this kosher, even in front of kids.
Thanks, 1960’s, for your ‘contribution’ to society.
Whoever this person is, if he or she does not repent, will have an extremely unpleasant meeting with the Lord on the day of judgment.
Sin angers Him on general principle, but the sin of corrupting children is especially hateful to Him and it is expressly singled out for an exceptionally severe judgment.
Matt. 18:6 and Luke 17:2
Yes, in a societal sense. Part of the communists’ goal of destroying the family, just like Amendments XVI and XVII instituted the communistic goals of taxation without representation and changing the federal system from a republic into a “democracy” (i.e. socialistic state) respectively.
The last time I heard words like this, they were describing “grooming” typically done by pedophiles, sexual deviants, and pimps!
This is CHILD ABUSE!! If the murderers, rapists, and robbers in their community have a parade, are they going to invite their kids to enjoy the show and express how they are just “members of your neighborhood”?!?
This is STUPIDITY on STEROIDS, covered in moron sauce!
It’s only “off the mark” because this idiot writer would fight, and I mean physically fight, for the “lifestyle choices” and “orientation” people to get their way! Hell, she would willingly run you over for suggesting the Constitutionally protected right to self-defense is even as important as those glorious, righteous, homosexuals!
“Off the mark” because this lady is not centered in any way with a normal balance or life or even reality!
This woman is absolutely batshit crazy.....maybe craziest we’ve ever had whose piece is posted here...she has a history of this..
"I was a straight woman whose spouse came out as trans. It didn’t change a thing."
Would certainly explain her 'transgressive' putdown LOFL...
"I still can’t prove which of my housemates keeps leaving the toilet seat UP — but I suspect my wife is at least one of the perpetrators."
Agreed. Purge is long overdue.
