Oh, FoxNews....Must all be lies..Well, the FAQ's section specifically states: "Children 12 and under are free at the Festival. Paid admission tickets are required for ages 12 and up. The parade is free for all to attend.
Children are always welcome, but we leave it up to the parents for discretion on children attending. Both the Pride Festival and Parade are a little more risquè than other events. We encourage parents to take this into consideration.
The Festival will have a Teen Zone and a Family Pride Zone where age-friendly events are offered."
There are events within the Pride Festival that are 'family friendly' and events that are less so, as noted.
So, yeah, Fox News is kinda' lying.

Ya, kinda not, as you said, 'There are events within the Pride Festival that are 'family friendly' and events that are less so, as noted'
If a parent wants to take their young children to such an event, shrug, none of my business.
Just don't judge me if I refrain from taking young children to the same event.

If there were MakeAmericaGreatAgain in attendance they too were respectful. After all, there are gay men and lesbian women who are conservatives too.

Well, I wouldn't judge you for what you decide is right for your own young children but that's not the point. The point is that the event had a warning as well as an area designed specifically for children and another area designed specifically for teens. Fox News said "the event" was child-safe when it had disclaimers saying that some areas/booths were not appropriate for children (that's where the lying comes in).

You also are free to possess an opinion that children should not be exposed to such things and (here is the important part) you are free to express that opinion. It often seems the practitioners and fans of fetishism are demanding that you not only tolerate the activity but express approval of exposing children to the activity to prove you are not some sort of hater.

Exactly! DH and I raised our two sons according to our family values. School was for the teaching of the three 'R's, being members of the band, scouts after school etc. not for drag queens drama recitals and the use of the correct pronoun BS.
Drag Queens have their place in life and I don't interfere with their life style, it's none of my business, but do not indoctrinate my sons as if it is the norm.
And no, I'm not from Mayberry, USA.... I was born and raised in the Heart of Manhattan, Harlem, where even a girl had better learn how to fight and stand her ground. So no, I'm not naive to what the 'big city life' is about.

Oh yawn, same repeated nonsense.
Let's talk about Jeffrey Epstein's buddy, you know, Hillary's boy Bill. Weird how Epstein died. I really don't believe it was a suicide, do you?

No. But I think if someone is showing how much fun her kids had at a drag event and you express your unwanted disapproval, you should expect to be told to F--k Off (and more). Now that isn't requiring you to express approval is it? So why the mischaracterization?

Umm, lots of rich people socialized with Epstein, including Trump, who considered Epstein a good friend. There are considerably more photos of Epstein and Trump together than Bill and Epstein.
Trump also flew on Epstein's private jet (despite owning his own private jet at the time).
And Alex Acosta, who Trump later appointed Sec of Labor, arranged the plea bargain that let Epstein off with a light sentence.
But seriously... do you think for a single moment that Epstein, who was in prison when Trump was president and Bill Barr oversaw the justice system, was somehow murdered by the Clintons?
Are you going Seth Rich on us?
You do realize Epstein was on suicide watch because of a previous suicide attempt, right?
Or do you also believe Hillary Clinton ran a pizza-restaurant child-sex ring and drank the blood of murdered children?
Sheesh.

I hope they die a thousand deaths in prison and then burn in Hell for eternity, hurting and damaging children with the horrid memories they will carry for the rest of their life.
Perverts and pedophiles come from all walks of life, not just ministers. Perhaps you might of had a friend or family member who ended up disgusting you because of their....whatever you call such behavior.
There was a respected High School teacher who was my neighbor who enticed boys whose families were less fortunate with buying things for them their family could not afford, etc.
Well Karma caught up with him. Without giving details he was left crippled for the rest of his life from an accident.

Very good.
I wouldn't be surprised if you could assemble a list of transgender criminals that is equivalent that in the gen pop of a nation, but can you find a list of transgender criminals that have preyed on vulnerable people through their positions of authority in association with schools, churches, community outreach programs for the disabled?
If you can, I'll be surprised and join you in condemning transgender associations that shelter those criminals (as the RCC does for its criminals.
Until that day I'll contain my concern to those organizations that knowingly shelter pedophiles rather than immediately reporting them to the authorities... including the Roman Catholic Church into which I was baptized.

'but can you find a list of transgender criminals that have preyed on vulnerable people through their positions of authority in association with schools, churches, community outreach programs for the disabled?'A transgender of authority or not who have preyed on vulnerable people and especially children is to me a criminal regardless if one served prison time or not.
The people who claim they are 'all inclusive' and insist others follow their notion a man says he is a women and vice-versa is baloney to me and they should mind their own business.
Check the web and you will find the answers you are looking for.
'If you can, I'll be surprised and join you in condemning transgender associations that shelter those criminals (as the RCC does for its criminals.'Define RCC. I'm not familiar with the abbreviation.
These people may not criminals, but some teachers and those in authority have sheltered the LGBTQ+ community and imo have no business what so ever thinking they have the right to go off the norm the teaching of the '3Rs' and instead indoctrinate children according to their mindset. It is the parent who makes the decision what extra curricular activities they want their children to be taught.
as per the article,
'while opponents contended that schools are usurping parental authority and pushing unnecessary and even harmful views on gender'
'Some opponents wore T-shirts emblazoned with: 'Leave our kids alone.''
https://apnews.com/article/glendale-school-distric...'Until that day I'll contain my concern to those organizations that knowingly shelter pedophiles rather than immediately reporting them to the authorities... including the Roman Catholic Church into which I was baptized.' I agree. Pedophiles from any walk of life are disgusting people.

Roman Catholic Church.
They have a history of hiding pedophile priests, moving them around rather than allowing them to be prosecuted. Don't know why, frankly. But they do.

See? Something we can agree on. I also agree about your previous comments (except the hell part...I have no reason to believe hell exists outside of Dante's work).
