A gay pride parade in Port St. Lucie, Fla., has been called off, and other pride events have been limited to individuals aged 21 and above. This move was made in anticipation of the signing of a bill by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis that aims to prevent children from participating in drag shows, according to a report from WFLA.
The “Protection of Children Act” or SB 1438 has been passed by both the state House and Senate. The act declares that businesses and individuals can be penalized for intentionally allowing a child to attend an adult live performance. Those who violate the law may be charged with a first-degree misdemeanor, resulting in a maximum of one year imprisonment and fines, as per the law’s provisions.
The Pride Alliance of the Treasure Coast announced the cancellation of the event on Wednesday.
“As all of you know, the political climate that we are currently in has us all very concerned for our community. After multiple meetings with city officials, it is with a heavy heart that Pride Alliance of the Treasure Coast has to announce that this weekend’s Pridefest will now be a 21 and older event,” the group explained in its Facebook post. “The city has decided that with the likelihood that the Governor will sign the latest bill into effect this evening, that we will need to be on the side of caution and has required us to make this necessary change. We are obviously upset and dishearten[ed] that it has come to this. We also regret to announce that we will have to cancel our plans to bring back our beloved parade.”
Without children, there is no point to the “parade”, so they’re cancelling. That says it all.
Florida is showing the way
lets go Red States
I’m still voting for Trump, but I LOVE what DeSantis is doing. Going to be interesting to see if the courts are up to the task of allowing the protecting of children against Grooming*, but there is only one way to find up, which is Florida’s way.
*I know, that’s asking a lot from the courts
Homos are pedos.
Most are also ‘Exhibitionists’.
These in school Drag book readings and the like are ‘opportunities’ for them to reveal their sexual organs to children on the sly.
No, no. They’re born that way, so why would they need to groom? /sarc
See my tagline.
Thank you for the wisdom.
The only way homosexuals can reproduce others like themselves is through grooming young people not fully developed emotionally or sexually. It is a “learned” behavior and not a “natural” one so they must be imprinted with it while young and vulnerable.
It’s simple. Pervs go where the children are.
What you should seriously consider is:
Why does everyone from biden on down support this..either directly or tasively? Pelosi. Schumer. Garland. Generals. FBI.. Child protective services. NEA . Churches. THE PUBLIC?
That’s a mighty big paintbrush. You didn’t really think about what you said, because you’re not right. Check out these “homo’s”, I’ve heard a representative interviewed several times on the radio. They are appalled by this and they really piss off the advocates with their refusal to buy into the grooming stuff.

So, let’s recap the situation. Adults chose to cancel an event because they would not get to expose children to the sight of adults performing lewd acts in public. This raises the question: Are these events truly about celebrating gay pride, or are they instead intended to groom children?
The answer has been made plainly obvious. These people think if they can’t include young, impressionable children, then there’s really no point in having the event at all.

Bingo.
And now they will spin their cause as
” protecting child civil rights “
and label the ban as a
” war on children “
.
They also want complete VALIDATION from the rest of us that “Their choices are OK”.
Yeah, as though I’m not supposed to have any opinion other than “I agree with your life style”, regardless of any of my own beliefs. They’re not getting that out of me—God didn’t make anyone “gay”. It’s a thing they do, not something that they are.
I”m with ya but I think their cancellation going forward is more due to the fact they cannot prevent children from attending future parades and therefore they cannot accept the legal liability that some would attend, triggering the parade planers and participants’ arrest.
