The group opted to cancel its parade and institute a minimum age limit for its ‘Pridefest’ out of concern over the impacts of a Florida law that would ban indecent shows for kids.
PORT ST. LUCIE, Florida (LifeSiteNews) — Event organizers in a Florida city scrapped plans for a gay “pride” parade this weekend after the GOP-led Florida House of Representatives sent a bill to Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ desk that would ban drag shows and other sexually explicit performances in venues where children are present. The move comes as DeSantis, who is expected to sign the measure into law, continues to rack up sizable wins among social conservatives ahead of a much-anticipated presidential campaign launch.
In an April 19 announcement, the LGBT group Pride Alliance of the Treasure Coast, Inc. said they opted to cancel their “beloved parade” set to take place in Port St. Lucie, Florida this weekend out of concern about the impacts of the new law. They also implemented a 21-and-older age requirement for their “Pridefest” event after “multiple meetings with city officials,” adding the changes were made “with a heavy heart.”
“As all of you know, the political climate that we are currently in has us all very concerned for our community,” the group said.
“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,” they continued. “We are obviously upset and dishearten[ed] that it has come to this.”
Daily Wire podcaster Matt Walsh, who has helped bring widespread public and legislative attention to the sexual indoctrination and transgender mutilation of children, hailed the cancellation of the pride parade as “[a]nother huge victory.”

Now would be the time to work to return homosexual acts to illegal status.
Sounds good to me. Looks like Florida won’t be turning into Sodom.

What kind of parent would take their children to a Drag Show? Disgusting.
It’s funny. SF has the Gay Freedom Day Parade in late June-a great time to visit. Most of the 300k spectators are Chinese. Free entertainment-not worrying about their sons/daughters engaging in the queer stuff. Even if they did they don’t seem to care. Now we gotta worry about DeSantis doing stuff Reagan would think twice about. Remember he had no problem with gay teachers teaching you young sons-like straight teachers teaching your daughters. So don’t let them in the schools. Stop it there.
Some people will criticize DeSantis for anything. Or nothing.
They can’t even get it right. It’s because Florida is considering the death penalty for pedophiles, that’s why the OMGWTFBBQ groups are going crazy.
How big do you want the government to be?
HUZZAH!
“As all of you know, the political climate that we are currently in has us all very concerned for our community,” the group said.
Primary objective thwarted, suddenly no more interest in continuing the event.
Win-win.

A matter for State laws.
Even if poorly enforced such laws protected us from these perverts running amuck.
What was the actual purpose of the event if they cancelled it because children would not be allowed at it?
Winning.
So, the Babylon Bee is no longer a satire site?
The faggies thought that once they co-opted marriage, they had carte blanche to do whatever they wanted.
In a way they were correct. Now, some pushback manifests.
