idk I think the objectification of women is bad but I don't necessarily think sexual imagery is inherently bad. sorry. maybe it's because I'm european but you dudes get way too hung up on your kids seeing an errant nipple but there's zero fucks given about your kids watching zombies exploding in gore.

banned superbowl ads, they definitely ran on TV. and honestly banning a superbowl ad is a great way to make sure everyone googles that poo poo

look I keep an open mind so if you show me evidence to the contrary then fine but afaik the realization that sex is a thing that people do doesn't inherently break kids and I think you underestimate kids greatly if you think most haven't seen porn by the time they're 10.

some dudes waving a dildo around isn't going to harm them.

Okay fine maybe seeing sex in public in general is a thing that i am somewhat uncomfortable with because I was born and raised in the states, but that doesn't make it bigoted to find it offputting in a context like the pride parade, and it also still doesn't change it being kinda odd that pride parades are so closely intertwined with kink/fetish stuff.

I'm pretty sure you could get arrested for killing a bear with a dildo, they don't give hunting permits for that. You have to use a gun, it's the law.

Nah the Euros have guns, they're just listed under antiques because they hoarded a bunch of equipment from World War II.

Are you seeing sex in public? Are there people in a parade having penetrative or oral sex in front of bystanders? Or is it just partial nudity and dancing which you find suggestive?

What city are you talking about - there is tremendous variation by city. I sat through the Pride parade in Columbus, Ohio years ago - it was the most tedious, boring thing I've ever seen. No nudity, a dozen church groups, a bunch of corporate tie-ins. And lots of topless women (because it was hot and humid, and it's legal for women to be topless.)

There's open oral sex in both NYC and Cali pride parades.

usually you unwittingly wander a bit into an alley and wind up interrupting it.

Idk it really isn't. She is literally pulling her stockings down and taking a bite of burg and then cumming while the burg is between her open legs over where her pussy is.

Alright this is a middle ground we can settle on though. I'd make fun of straight people having a leather parade walking down the road in their petplay outfits so it is only fair the gays get a fair ribbing also.

I still support their right to do it, just to clarify.

Here in Seattle it was all kinds of weird with the tie-ins. But it also felt pretty bland because it feels more like going through motions than a social movement now.

ott gay flamboyancy and ott sexualization at pride both stem from the fact that gays were an oppressed group and many oppressed groups react to that oppression by embracing the worst of what people say they are and shoving it in their faces. like this is basically social movements 101

you're talking about the group of people that took every insult people made up from them and turned them into friendly phrases and terms of endearment. being crazy bombastic about sexuality is just a way to get a rise out of folks and get on the news and poo poo as well as being a fairly effective way to respond to the image of them being fetishists and perverts and poo poo.

Well not just portrayed in the media, but yeah pride parades are one of the faces of the movement and before college it's not like I really had a huge network outside public events like that. I dunno, to me being attracted to dudes doen't change me as a person, it doesn't mean I have to dress or act differently, it doesn't mean I have to be more overt or explicit about my sexuality, it just means that sometimes I date dudes instead of dudettes. I'm willing to admit that part of this is a byproduct of being able to pass as straight when I want to, but on the same token I've known plenty of gay people who we're just normal boring people and I feel like a common social misconception is that you're supposed to ride around in your rainbow cockmobile or something.

At the end of the day you as a person shouldn't be reduced to archtypes that fit your sexuality and tbh I feel far more pressure from the gay community than I do the straight community over this.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

sf's parade is basically just a really long line of politicians and corporations rainbow-washing their image with a 5-hour stroll down market street

hey were facebook, we do rainbow poo poo and employ a trans woman, see, here she is on the float, we're still gonna gently caress with drag queens and trans users and financially support anti-lgbt politicians tho but dont worry, rainbow poo poo! token trans woman!

Unless you live in a small town, you should have available a gay community with many facets and cliques: choir, rollerderby, bikers, softball league, marathoners/triathletes, theater buffs. Every parade I've been to has had much more than just this level of diversity. Go tell Dykes on Bikes that they're riding around on their rainbow cockmobiles - you'll either get laughed at or plain hosed up.

Either you're coming from a perspective of limited experience, or you've got some weird internalized homophobia.

okay but now you're conflating pride with its media portrayal

marginalized group have no say in how they're rolled up in poo poo like that
it's like going "why do black musicians glorify violence" and ignore the white people that are paying for the violence but not the culture.

I was in the same position, feeling uncomfortable with my sexuality because of the way it was generally understood, but one of the barriers you have to overcome is realizing how much of that is just baggage you picked up from bullshit cultural narrative coming from people who don't want to understand it.
you don't have to want to be the twink dancing in designer underwear, and I completely get not identifying with that and getting frustrated with that being the understanding of this part of your identity, but you should be questioning if he's really the enemy. he shouldn't have fun and be comfortable and party on the one day of the year set aside specifically to do that because somebody else is decontextualizing it and using it to flatten and dismiss what it means to be gay?
