Can I have "It depends?" I mean, there are some gay pride parades that I wouldn't take my (non-hypothetical) kids to for the same reason I wouldn't take them to see Zumanity. Others would be fine.

Folsom Street Fair: right out.

Random pride parade in Austin? Sure.

Sure. It depends it is.

I wouldn't take my (hypothetical) non-teenaged kids unless I thought they were cognitively capable of understanding an explanation of what was going on and why. I don't think I'd not take my teenaged kid if they wanted to go.

I hear Satan loves lots of trombones.

Tough to answer this without context. I'm not really into these parades, so I doubt I'd take them to one for that reason. But if they wanted to go to one, I'd be happy to take them.

Agree. Age appropriate and they wanted to go sure. Not something I would seek out usually. Parades in general I rarely seek out.

Sorry Mummers.

I answered "yes," but my real answer is "Only if there isn't too damn much booze for sale."
