"Anyone else get asked if they're going to pride as if just because I'm gay I must be attending? No, I'm not, and I don't need to justify myself either. I have no particular love or hate of it either way." You do you. It does sound a bit like you are having the argument with yourself, not anyone else? | |||

"I never attend pride events anymore, I'm assamed it's been taken over by trans. Less and less gay guys go anymore. " Prude is filled with loads of gay guys. What do you mean? | |||

. And lots of opportunities to have your kinks instead of in a parade...
It's basically gay Christmas - if the second coming of Jesus had a double meaning 
Go....don't go..... You're not missing much unless you need to feel a bit of positive energy and self love......or you want copious amounts of sex. | |||

"I do attend to a degree. Essientally pride causes a bit of a divide in the community for various reasons. The first one I went to was a family friendly event. But, there was guys wearing pup play masks. I voiced my concern and the argument was made that pride is about sexual freedom too. I'm fine with that to a degree, but there was kids there. And I suppose , the kids won't put two and two together from just a dog mask but I don't think they should be seeing it at all. It's not necessary to display your kinks at a family friendly parade. Maybe I'm just a prude. " I don't think you are a prude at all. If you are then I am happy to be dubbed one as well. I don't agree with children being at pride events. Always thought they should be held in private parks, like rock concerts, with a 16+ admission only. I saw some videos of a pride event. There were guys wearing puppy hoods, leather or rubber speedos, boots, studded collars and chains, being led by their 'masters' in front of kids. Another guy wore an outfit made up of about 20 or 30 brightly coloured dildoes. Explain that to a 7yo. At a town not so very far from me, they had a pride weekend. I did not go as most of the events that appealed to me were at night and I no longer drive after dark. They had a specific event for kids. Don't know what it comprised of but don't think it was necessary and wondered just how many parents would let their kids attend. | |||

"I never attend pride events anymore, I'm assamed it's been taken over by trans. Less and less gay guys go anymore. " London Pride this year was wall to wall cock. Mostly attached to big, burly fuckers. Had a blast. And although this was my 30th Pride event, I have never experienced such love, positivity and inclusiveness as I did this time. Piss and moan and stay at home if it’s not your bag, you won’t be remotely missed. I can assure you. | |||

It's the internet so it's hard to know if woke parents brought their kids to something they shouldn't or if someone in the parade was doing stuff they shouldn't. Regardless, it's wrong. I've never encountered stuff that raunchy at a family friendly event thankfully. I would be well and truely pissed off and not quiet about it. What I did see at the last one was 99% family friendly. There was a segment for LGBT families - lots of families with two mums, dads, a mix of colours , races , adopted kids, fostered kids etc. It was lovely to see and I'm sure those kids felt a lot of pride and support for their family. A stark contrast to the bullying of the past. And it will give them confidence and resilience to defend themselves when they do encounter bigotry. To me, that's what pride is about - being seen, living without prejudice or fear of violence. Accepting each other's differences. I still think it has great purpose but we have to keep the line drawn somewhere as to what's socially and ethically acceptable behaviour. All the raunchy stuff can be after 9pm lol. That part is fun too but should be strictly adults and adult eyes only. Particularly because it also just gives the bigots ammo to call us all perverts and pedos. They don't care about the truth. They just need to see one video online and their tiny minds are made up forever. | |||

"I agree live and let live together I would like to go and just have the experience not to shag everyone in sight or judge just to meet people and enjoy " That’s the point it’s not supposed to be a shag fest So maybe if gone that way hence why so many not happy with it | |||
