just to clarify

this kind of thing?

totally fine. go nuts. stay hydrated. try not to overheat. (seriously how do yall wear all that leather shit in the middle of the summer??)

but this shit?

hmm no. save it for folsom.

exactly why you should keep it at home

Pride parades should be a safe place for queer kids. If you want to organize private adult only Pride events then more power to you, but Pride parades and other public Pride events should be kid-friendly. It’s important for queer kids to see healthy displays of queer affection but you should not be doing anything sexually explicit or kinky at a Pride parade. Save that for adults-only venues and events.

Pride should be safe for all queer people and queer kids are a subset of queer people who are especially vulnerable and especially in need of a safe place thanks.
