June is Pride Month! We plan on celebrating, supporting, and learning. We have attended the Pride Parade for many years and are excited to participate again in 2025. My daughter will be 6 this year, and I\u2019m excited to have her attend. But we\u2019ve put a lot of thought into attending and ensuring that we\u2019re doing it respectfully. Pride is a big deal for the community and not one to take lightly or use simply as a costume party. Here is a guide to some things to consider about attending Pride; why I bring my kid, and you should too!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Firstly, it\u2019s important to understand why you\u2019re going. So many people have fought for the right to be at the Pride Parade. It\u2019s not just a day for glitter and rainbows. So make sure that your reason for taking your child is genuine and not to play dress-up. Make sure your kids understand\u00a0why\u00a0<\/em>the Parade takes place. For example, if you\u2019re unfamiliar with the history, make sure you read this if you\u2019re Canadian<\/a>. And if you\u2019ve been living under a rock, please make yourself aware of the Stonewall Riots<\/a> in New York. The birthplace of Gay Pride<\/a> and why so many people have more opportunities to celebrate freely today.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Here is why we love attending Pride. and think it’s important for kids. Pride; why I bring my kid and you should too!<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
1) She is being raised in a heterosexual family:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h6>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Two straight parents are raising her, and although we have gay friends, they’re all single so she doesn\u2019t have a lot of exposure to different families. So she must learn that not all families look like ours, but they\u2019re just as special and loving.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2) She will see public displays of affection.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h6>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

My daughter doesn\u2019t see gay couples expressing affection daily (and we even have gay friends), but they rarely show affection in public. The Pride Parade is a chance for her to see loving couples holding hands, kissing, and showing love and affection. I want her to see this; what better way of learning that love is love than seeing people passionately loving one another.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3) She\u2019ll see nudity<\/strong><\/h6>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Will there be nudity? Yep, probably. My 5-year-old is a-okay with nudity (what young kid isn’t??) or \u201cnakies,\u201d as we call it. She will have an opportunity to see bodies of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Dancing, jiggling, and being proud. What better place to teach her body positivity than a group of happy people dancing in their beautiful skin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

4) It\u2019s a Celebration AND a time to recognize\u00a0<\/strong><\/h6>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s a time to celebrate and support those great strides and many sacrifices that have taken place in the LGBTQIA+ community. Having said this, I make sure that my daughter understands that this is a celebration, that the gay community is dressing up and celebrating a movement. The LGBTQIA+ community doesn\u2019t always wander around daily wearing feather boas; they\u2019re executives, doctors, teachers, parents, and respected members of our community who celebrate and have fun today.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Things to consider about whether it\u2019s right for you:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
1) You feel uncomfortable<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h6>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There is one thing to be said about getting out of your comfort zone. However, if you feel really uncomfortable, it\u2019s not right to bring your child. If your un-comfort means you’re going to gawk, stare and be utterly shocked, please don\u2019t go. It\u2019s better for your child and the LGBTQIA+ community not to have that negativity. It’s a place to show support and respect, all while having fun and if you can’t do that, then don’t attend. Stay home this time, educate yourself, and hopefully, you can come and support with open eyes and an open mind next year.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u00a02) Respect Boundaries<\/strong><\/h6>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Like the straight community, sex is only one part of daily life. It doesn\u2019t define the community. For example, at the Pride Parade, it\u2019s not uncommon to see various kinks and sexually explicit outfits. If you have a child who is new to the community or just discovering or questioning, be mindful of their comfort level. Like those in the straight community, there are varying comfort levels with sex.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If your child is at the beginning of their journey, it\u2019s a lot to be confronted with sex far beyond their comfort level. Especially as their place in the LGBTQIA+ community may have nothing to do with sex. The Parade is a lot, and you don\u2019t want to intimidate young people from opening up; we need young people to feel the community is approachable. It may be best to avoid the Parade and instead join some of the other fun, supportive events happening all month long. There are plenty of pride events that require less sexual exuberance and could be a great fit.\u00a0

We wish everyone a happy & safe pride month! We hope you have a fun, informative and loving month! To keep your kids safe in a big crowd, pick up some Silicone ID Bracelets!\u00a0<\/a>
