If you can't parade around with a visable erection, the terrorists have won.

America: where the police go around staring at your junk and arresting you for having a boner.

And on the matter of children, a) lots of children have had erections, and b) when I was little I probably would have been completely oblivious had I encountered someone with a visible but clothed erection.

There's nothing like babysitting a young boy who suddenly exclaims "My peepee is hard!" Was not aware young boys had erections until then.

Also, yeah: like kids would notice anything, especially at a parade where I assume there will be lots of colorful costumes and other far more interesting things to look at then men's crotches.

I urge you ALL to openly DEFY the Tavern Guild!

My older kid grew up going to Pride and saw plenty of men in bikini bottoms and topless women. No therapy required for it yet.

Granted, I don't watch for erections but I don't recall ever seeing one at a Pride event. I'm pretty sure this wasn't an issue for kids either. FFS

At Pride in NYC there are dozens of marchers who are naked, or scantily clothed, and also dozens of (hundreds?) children. In fact, I remember a few years ago a float of strippers was in front of the contingent pushing strollers with kids on their necks. It was kind of glorious.

"Also gone from parade entries this year will be women with bare breasts and only "pasties" or tape covering their nipples, according to Jeremy Liebbe, co-commander of security for the event."

If women have to cover their breasts, mean should have to as well. I still don't understand why we have a double standard here...

I LOVE that picture. My coworker and I saw it and immediately started planning a clothing line of bras and swimsuits with man-nips printed on.
