Why are your perceived problems and solutions always so radical?
Perhaps it's time to start knocking some people on their asses.
I find sex offenders as funny as they'd find my chainsaw.

Yes, kink belongs at Pride. And I want my kids to see it,
#ing pervert.
I am no stranger to BDSM but like everything sexual, this is something you want to HIDE from children, not TEACH them. For #s sake the world has gone bonkers.
Disgusting.

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.
My issue is with people basing their identity on a sexual preference.
It's just as bad as basing your identity on the color of your skin.
What the hell ever happened to people just being people?
They've created so many boxes for themselves that they've grown apart as a culture.

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.”

Washington Post article
People who seek to expose children to BDSM or otherwise sexual activity are sexual predators. There is no reason it is appropriate to intentionally expose children to half-naked men in fetish clothing whipping each other's asses. This is grooming activity. I'd bet any money on this woman (who is a former "sex worker", or in other words a prostitute) being a closeted pedophile who was most likely abused herself as a child, and that exposing her children to things of this nature is her way of normalizing whatever she experienced so that she doesn't feel like a victim. It happens constantly.
This article is a warning sign that children are in the care of a dangerous person, and the people online calling for an investigation are completely justified.
Now, on to the fact that this was even published by the Washington Post in the first place... How disgusting of a place our society is in when you can be attacked and cancelled and have your life threatened and ruined for something as simple as saying "men and women are different", but when you want to expose children to sexual fetishes, you get a whole platform to share your views with impunity.

"Always" is a strong judgement for someone who's been here 2 days to make against someone with 13 years and 27,000 posts, dontchathink?
