LGBT ‘pride’ parade advocates say children like to see ‘nakedness’ and ‘kink’

June 20, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — A sex therapist claims she cannot imagine “a safer place for families to bring children” than an LGBTQ “pride” celebration.

According to HuffPost Canada, Pega Ren brought her grandchildren to a homosexual “pride” parade in British Columbia. When asked about the appropriateness of children participating in the LGBTQ event, she said, “I can’t imagine a safer place for families to bring children.” Pride parades in Canada and around the world feature not only public nudity and sex acts, but also various other forms of perversion and deviance on display.

While even within LGBTQ circles there has been debate over whether or not children should be exposed to displays of adult nudity and sexuality, HuffPost quoted a retired sexual diversity professor, David Rayside of the University of Toronto, who said, “Pride has always had a kind of outrageous edge to it. And should we alter that? It is not the Santa Claus parade, and it never was. It shouldn’t be. It can’t be.” Rayside said it is “important for parents to bring their kids” to “pride” celebrations, adding that he has never seen people “fuss about what they see there.”

S. Bear Bergman told the publication there is no reason not to take children to “pride” parades. He told HuffPost that he takes his own children to the Toronto Pride parade every year. He said, “It’s their right as queer spawn. And as a parent, I might want to take my kids to Pride, because they might be lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer or two-spirit.” Bergman said the display of adult public nudity should not be a problem for children, saying, “... nobody likes nakedness more than children.” Bergman added that he does not want his children exposed to “compulsory heterosexuality, demonstrations of sexism, demonstrations of racism, demonstrations of able-ism, violence. These are all way higher on the list than some homosexual’s tuchus.” Bergman is a writer and publisher of books for children.

According to HuffPost Canada, sex therapist Ren believes that children somehow benefit from seeing “people loving one another, from seeing diversity and inclusion. Children suffer from seeing violence and fear, hatred and divisiveness.” Ren also claimed that a “pride” parade, “from kink to nakedness, is an excellent opportunity for parents to do unbiased sex education.”

In contrast, pediatrician and child welfare advocate Dr. Michelle Cretella responded to LifeSiteNews, noting via email: “We know from decades of research on the impact of all forms of media [books, radio, TV, internet etc etc] on children that they will act out what they see and hear.” Dr. Cretella is the executive director of the American College of Pediatricians. Saying this is true of sex, violence, and substance abuse, Cretella wrote: “Parents should no more take their children to a Pride parade than they should sit them down to watch pornography.” Regarding the effects of adult nakedness on children, and the proliferation of cross-dressing children in Pride Parades, Cretella asserted that a “segment of the LGBQT movement has long wanted the normalization of pedophilia as an inborn sexual orientation. The National Man Boy Love Association still exists.” According to NAMBLA’s website, the organization’s goal is “to end the extreme oppression of men and boys in mutually consensual relationships.”

Cretella noted that apart from the LGBTQ “segment” that is seeking the sexualization of children, there are people who identify as LGBTQ who are opposed. She noted that the Hands Across the Aisle Coalition, which brings together radical feminists and lesbians with conservative women, is united in opposing transgender ideology and the sexualization of children.

In an interview with LifeSiteNews, Dr. Richard Fitzgibbons, a psychiatrist who has done seminal work in the area of forgiveness and anger management, deplored the notion that children like to see nakedness. “Young children are not interested in sexuality,” Fitzgibbons said, “They’re interested in bonding, warmth and happiness with their families and peers.” Exposing children to nudity and sexuality “is the same as exposing them to pornography,” he said. A number of studies have shown the negative effects suffered by adolescents and children exposed to pornography, said Fitzgibbons. Exposing children to “kinks and fetishes,” said the psychiatrist, “would be traumatic.” In his practice, Fitzgibbons said he has had numerous patients who were traumatized by exposure as children and adolescents to homosexual and heterosexual acts and pornography. “They thought they were going to be used next,” he said, “in that process, so it scared them.” Fitzgibbons is the president of the Marital Healing Institute in Pennsylvania.

Signaling some debate among LGBTQ advocates over the exposure of children to deviant sexual behavior at “pride” parades on Twitter, a now deleted tweet by user Nikole pleaded, “Please don’t bring your k*nks/fet*shes to pride, there are minors at Pride and this can sexualise the event” (see archived tweet here).

In a series of tweets, Twitter user “Amp - Mr Friendly” opposed restricting children from Pride parades, writing that he is proud of his own “kinks.” Defining the goal of LGBTQ celebrations, he wrote: “Pride is, among other things, a defence of sexual freedom, the very nature of what kinksters want in our world. As we continue to lose freedoms online and spaces in the real world, we want nothing but to defend what we love and have pride about.”

Writing that protecting children is not the responsibility of “pride parade” organizers, he tweeted: “Pride is as much about politics and activism, representation and being sexual yourself, as it is about celebrating family. So if you haven’t talked to your children about birds and bees, best do that before pride where they could see a number of sexually expressive floats.”

“Sex therapist.” What a joke. Insane pedophile whore masquerading as a therapist of anything is insane. I’d give more credence to a psychic than the ho in the OP.

“Sexologist” Alfred Kinsey, a father of the “gay rights” movement and sexual revolution, also claimed that children as young as infants “liked sex” with adults.

How is this any different?

Children have long been subjected to naked perverts on the street in Frisco.

Since 1984.

It’s worse than Sodom ever was/ And it’s the entire world, not just a city.

It is beyond horrible that they are exposing children to this. It is serious child abuse.

The perversion is deep, widespread, and proliferating exponentially. I expect next year we’ll see today’s flaunting of perversion as relatively mild in comparison.

These are the end times. We are only a hair’s breadth away from divine judgement.

And now, three decades later, they poop in the streets like animals in their adulthood.

We are not -in the words of Robert Bork - slouching towards Gomorrah. We are sprinting.

I do believe we are in the mist of a war being waged between good and evil in heaven right now. It has been prophesied in the Bible that these things will come to past in the end times and I believe you and I are living in those last days.

Question: "What is the Rapture of the church?"

Answer: The word "rapture" does not occur in the Bible. The concept of the rapture, though, is clearly taught in Scripture. The rapture of the church is the event in which God removes all believers from the earth in order to make way for His righteous judgment to be poured out on the earth during the tribulation period. The rapture is described primarily in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:50-54. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 describes the rapture as God resurrecting all believers who have died, giving them glorified bodies, and then departing the earth with those believers who were still alive, who have also been given glorified bodies. "For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever" (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

The rapture will be instantaneous in nature and we will, at that time, receive glorified bodies. "Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed - in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed" (1 Corinthians 15:51-52).

The rapture is the glorious event we should all be longing for. We will finally be free from sin. We will be in God's presence forever. There is far too much debate over the meaning and scope of the rapture. This is not God’s intent. Rather, in regards to the rapture, God wants us to “encourage each other with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:18).

It is, perhaps, worth noting that Lot had to leave Sodom before God unleashed fire and brimstone from the sky.

S.Bear Bergman, author of children’s books & trans man (bearded lady) queer polyamory person quoted in this article, is worth googling.

Too much interesting info to post links here.

“Some people are alive only because it’s illegal to kill them.”

Amen. Each day is closer and it is accelerating. Man is not capable of solving the world’s evil except the evil within your own soul. Be watchful and be ready to give testimony to Jesus.

This article appeared last January & Louder With Crowder did a feature, too.
Though the TransKids site is still up, apparently they aren’t selling the “gear” anymore (at least not openly) just books.
