“Yes, kink belongs at Pride. And I want my kids to see it.”

  ...

  But kinksters at Pride *are not engaged in sex acts* — and we cannot confuse their self-expression with obscenity.

Dear Lauren Rowello, you are so unbelievably wrong it physically hurt me reading this and other statements you've written in your article.

Search for Folsom Street Fair (and related terms) on any(?) porn site. In fact, the Images section on any(?) search engine will help too.

W.r.t. if kids should or shouldn't be exposed to kink at Pride: according to your article, we're talking about first graders here, so: absolutely NOT. Other ages? It's up to them (not you), you ought to explain to them what they are probably going to be exposed to before asking them if they want to go.
