"Family Friendly" Apparently Offends Some

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Many in the gay marriage movement claim that they have no desire to force their lifestyle on anyone else, they only want the freedom to love and marry whomever they wish. But sometimes this carefully-crafted claim is undermined by the real-world actions of the homosexual community itself.

An example of this was seen last week, as controversy erupted in the media about the Dallas Pride Parade. MyFoxDetroit reported that organizers had stated ahead of this year’s event- which took place on Sunday- that “rules related to nudity and sexual behavior would be enforced more strictly than in past years. Police said anyone violating indecency laws in front of children could be charged with a felony.”

But many in the gay community were unhappy about the stricter enforcement of the rules, not only in Dallas but across the country:

The warnings outraged some local activists, whose reactions swiftly echoed through gay-oriented social media nationwide.

“To make the parade more ‘family friendly’ and to accommodate comfort for the increasing number of attending heterosexuals and corporate sponsorship, participants are being asked to cover up!” activist Daniel Scott Cates wrote on his Facebook page. “The ‘queer’ is effectively being erased from our pride celebration.”

Another activist, Hardy Haderman, wrote an aggrieved column for the Dallas Voice, a weekly serving the gay community.

“The assimilationists insist we tone down and throw away all our joyous sexiness,” he wrote. “Why? To do that turns the Pride Parade into a We-Are-Ashamed parade, and I refuse to be part of that.”

The rules are hardly extreme, however: the article explains that they “were drafted to conform with the city’s public nudity ordinance and the state’s anti-obscenity law, which bars the parade from featuring sexual paraphernalia and ‘real or simulated sex acts.’”

This leaves us wondering how public displays of nudity in front of children and sexual acts on public streets doesn’t equate to forcing others to be exposed to elements of a lifestyle that is understandably objectionable to many.
