We are not talking about having sex on the streets, that is what Folsom is for.

We are talking about being able to represent ourselves. For many of us our Kink identity is part of who we are.

For the most part we are talking about wearing some leather, rubber, a harness, a pup hood, maybe using a leash, etc. Things that are mostly tame.

Your kid will either likely laugh at it or not think anything of it. If they actually make the connection to sex... they already knew about it.

But again. Pride is our event. I don't need you there or care that you are there. This country is seriously fucked with its puritanical views.

What you do on the street in public is for the whole of the public to comment on, you're not immune to criticism just because the parade is "yours". As soon as you do it in public, you are giving up any conceptual right to not be criticized you seem to think you are entitled to.
