Do you agree with nudity at pride events?

[khalyan]

What works in one part of the US won't work in another.  You can legally be nude in Seattle as long as you aren't making someone uncomfortable, and looking at that video everyone seems fine.  If you were a woman topless in my city in pride, the whole parade would be shut down immediately  That's why its hard making a universal law/ideal about nudity at pride or children at pride, because it's always going to depend on that specific community. 

[DamianSolo]

I'm from New Orleans, public nudity is something that generally occurs during any Mardi Gras parade. I was a child at parades and seeing boobs.

 

It's not something to agree or disagree with, in my opinion. People aren't doing it for others to "agree" or "disagree" with it; it's meant to be liberating. Now, is it appropriate? That's up to the eye of the beholder; turn your head if you don't want to see.

[Archetype]

We talk about this every year and the only correct answer is, during the day, NO.  Keep that stuff to after dark adult-only events.  In no way is it appropriate to run around naked in broad daylight no matter what you’re brining awareness to. 

[Taylucifer]

no, idk why gays can’t stay classy

[popmusicisdead]

yes for hotties

no for uglies

[Leptine]

Personally I don't care or mind about it, but at the same time it feels totally uneccessary, like other users said there's the place and the right moment to do that during night events or clubs, at the end of the day being naked like that doesn't add or contribute to anything when it comes to Pride and all the important reasons for which it's done, the manifestation in general is truly losing its real meaning these days..

[deal dough]

yes cuz I'm into public nudity  but no children plz 

[Trent W]

I personally feel disgusted to watch strangers naked in the street.

 

Maybe is the way we were raised or whatever but I feel violated. It makes me extremely uncomfortable.

 

This should be only in private events when people who go are aware of what they are going to see.

 

Also this is the perfect weapon for homophobes to attack.

I have mixed feelings about it. At the Pride I’ve attended this past week I wouldn’t feel comfortable bringing children but that has nothing to do with topless people/fully nude people and more with the people who are technically covered but displaying or acting out kink stuff.

No save that for Folsom or dore alley! 

[spree]

but if you think about it....so what if kids see some nudity?  So what if they see naked bikers?  What exactly is that going to do to them?  Accept nudity as natural ... or what exactly?

[tshwark]

Harmless nudity is ok, but why at pride? what’s the point.

[poki]

The idea that nudity should be frowned upon exists because of the dark ages of the church. 

 

It's a tool to make one submissive, hench why women in particular have harsher rules.

[Cyanide]

Don’t care

 

the lesbos had their boobs out at the dyke March in NYC this weekend I was living

[Johnny Jacobs]

I don't always feel proud during Pride, and that isn't because I'm not comfortable with my sexuality, my body or being a gay man. I don't feel proud going to a Pride event and seeing gay men of any age in thongs and jock straps acting out k*nk play in broad daylight  Keep it indoors and away from children / people who don't wanna see it - and I'd say the exact same if straight couples were acting out k*nk play in public also.

 

[Robert]

I think there should be 18+ events where people can be naked and family friendly events where LGBT families and younger queer people can enjoy Pride too.

 

A lot of this is fear-mongering though and we need to remember the right want to divide us. For example London has done a naked bike ride every year since 2004 and no one has ever really cared.

There is place and time for nudity, I'm no prude. But pride is not one of them imo.

[réveuse]

No, absolutely not.

[cockatoo]

Do you guys not get tired bringing up this same damn topic every year 

[kataraqueen]

the human body being seen as sexual at nature has always bothered me; to me, those are the thoughts of a primeate and a relic of the dark ages

 

Anyway, actual sex acts at pride should be banned imo because it does more harm than good, the point isn't obvious (and sometimes not even there)

 

when you're repressed for a long time, of course it can come out in unconventional ways, but there's a time and place for everything

[Bencharmer]

Sometimes i don't understand the logic.

Nudity in some private events.... Why not?!?

 

In front of everybody, including children.... 

[Daddy]

I've seen more straight people naked on the streets of Berlin than queer ones sooooooo... whatever.
