In an article on Tuesday titled “Yes, kink belongs at Pride. And I want my kids to see it,” writer and former sex worker Lauren Rowello wrote about taking her children to a Pride parade five years ago. She said they became confused at the sight of a “bare-chested man in dark sunglasses,” suspenders, and a “leather thong” who was being “spanked playfully by a partner with a flog.”
“When my own children caught glimpses of kink culture, they got to see that the queer community encompasses so many more nontraditional ways of being, living, and loving,” she declared
“children who witness kink culture are reassured that alternative experiences of sexuality and expression are valid.”
“This is what she’ll say out loud. Imagine how far she’s really willing to go,” commented one woman on Twitter, while another user declared that the writer’s children “should be removed by child protective services.”

Is that the same guy who said he "likes children more than people?"

Yes, kink belongs at Pride. And I want my kids to see it,
Where is this parade? Is there music and beer?

This has always been my issue with Gay pride parades. They are often just overtly sexualized. I have no problem with what people do in their own bedrooms, but there is no need to advertise your kinks and fetishes in a parade. If we had a heterosexual parade and had a TigBitties float or some other obviously overly sexualized theme, I think people would be abhorred.

"sex worker Lauren Rowello"
At least nobody can say a whore, with the mores of a whore, isn't the perfect spokesperson for Democrats. Just the sort of thing a person should expect to see in the Washington Post, too, a whore rag,
