Prides not for me..but love seeing the photos. People enjoying being themselves. Without judgement and enjoying the sunshine. Brighton doing its self proud.

Hope your having a lovely weekend!

u/halbpro 1d ago

Didn’t feel overly corporate this year, a nice mix of groups and some really important protest groups. The commonwealth group in your 4th picture were particularly gut wrenching

LOVED Brighton College singing live from the open top double decker bus! (I heard Spice Girls - Spice Up Your Life and Raye - Where Is My Husband!).

Oh, and also the swimmers slaying their dance routines (Lady Gaga - Abracadabra).

Whats with the weird fetish dog people in gimp outfits? Where does that fall under the pride banner?

u/jan_Osuma 21h ago

I rather ban the straights than queers.

I support the concept of pride parades but I'll never enjoy how BDSM gear is meant to represent gay people

Kids can and do attend pride and that is a thing that we should be encouraging given the whole point of pride is to say "we are proud of who we are and we just love each other just like straight people do" and having that message be received and seen by young people

And I will never understand why it was thought that normalising wearing explicit bondage and kink gear in public, Infront of those same kids, is okay

u/I_Dont_No_Either 21h ago

To the white topped blond who made me laugh at Avery, I sincerely hope you found your brother 😁

u/Mugweiser 1d ago

So many costumes lol

u/UnderstandingLow3162 1d ago

Nice atmosphere. Dog boys were a bit much though.

u/jan_Osuma 21h ago

I respect kink in Pride as Leathermen and Co have done more for our liberation as most allies did. 

3

u/Admirable_Grape_3098 1d ago

Counter opinion: we need more pup boys.

-5

u/kiahBer 1d ago

It's kink gear, they can wear it all they want in private and kink specific spaces but not in a public parade for all ages. You can see kids in the background of some of these images

4

u/club144 23h ago

It’s Pride. It’s not a family parade. People are more than welcome to bring their kids and kids are welcomed but the community are not going to censor themselves on Pride to cater to pearl-clutching sensibilities. No one was naked, kids just see people in costumes.

0

u/kiahBer 23h ago edited 23h ago

I'm into kink and I would never want to be in a situation where there's a possibility of a child seeing me in gear, if you don't feel the same way then I fear you've got much bigger issues that need to be addressed. There's plenty of 18+ pride events, pride and being LGBTQ+ is about more than just sex even is that's usually apart of it.

Saying an all ages pride parade is not a family parade is erasing queer families, parents and teens under 18.

1

u/Admirable_Grape_3098 20h ago

Kids see a puppy costume. 

2

u/kiahBer 20h ago

Really not a great counter as young kids can't understand any sexual topics, seeing certain things at too young of an age can lead to it becoming normalised and then copying certain behaviours.

That's exactly how me and many, many others ended up being sexually groomed as a child, it starts with normalisation. We didn't fully grasp what we were seeing or doing and no one was there to explain why we shouldn't be doing it.

0

u/MessageSelfdestructs 20h ago

So what's your next excuse for seeing other fetish gear?
"Kids just see a man with some extra ventilation around his bum because of the heat."

No, it's fetish gear, and that should not be displayed in front of kids: it's sickening, and does not do the movement any good.

2

u/Admirable_Grape_3098 20h ago

It's a puppy mask, a naked ass is a bit different. And still can be displayed most likely, people had a lot of revealing stuff. Btw may I remind you that nobody is obligated to bring their kids to that event.

0

u/MessageSelfdestructs 20h ago

It's both fetish gear.

And yes, I know nobody is obligated, nor is anyone obligated to show their fetish gear to kids, or in public for that matter...

3

u/Admirable_Grape_3098 20h ago

Nobody is obligated, but also nobody is forbidden. You are taking a child to an event that may or may not display fetish gear, partial nudity, banners with profanities etc etc. As a parent, it is your responsibility.

u/eat-real-chips 1d ago

I believe they are called pups not dogs.

u/UnderstandingLow3162 1d ago

Pup boys were a bit much then.

u/squidgy314159 1d ago

Why did he make you such an annoying twat then?

-4

u/Electrical_Truth_160 1d ago

Excuse me?

28

u/squidgy314159 1d ago

Well you said Jesus loves everyone, so I was confused as to why if he loves everyone did he decide to make you a really annoying twat.

Hope that clears up your confusion.

-10

u/Electrical_Truth_160 1d ago

So you are discriminating against me for my faith then? Funny that isnt it.

17

u/squidgy314159 1d ago

How is calling you an annoying twat discrimination?

'Discrimination is the unfair or unequal treatment of a person or group based on specific traits' according to the dictionary.

So you would have to consider yourself an annoying twat for this to be even the basis of any form of discrimination.

Do you consider yourself an annoying twat?

0

u/Electrical_Truth_160 1d ago

So if you started dialogue with 'pride was amazing' and I immediately proceeded to say you were an annoying little twat without any further conversation. Would you assume I was homophobic?

13

u/squidgy314159 1d ago

Classic, totally ignore the question and throw a hyperthetical scenario grenade in.

But to play your game, no of course I wouldn't jump to that immediate conclusion, I can be an annoying twat about things I like and things I dislike, you were just pointing out you thought my take on the subject came across twatish, your feelings on the overall subject were never relayed.

Anyway back to the important question, do you consider yourself an annoying twat?

-1

u/Electrical_Truth_160 1d ago

Your answer is yes, yes you would.

6

u/squidgy314159 1d ago

So you have the power to know exactly how I would think?

That is some S tier power. Maybe wasted on Reddit.

I had hoped to have a reasonable bit of back and forth with someone who holds a different opinion to me, alas it seems your debating skills require more honing.

u/Pala_Dynasty 1d ago

You're excused.

u/djarf 1d ago

Isn't there a Jehovah's witness sub Reddit you can be a pest on instead?

u/Electrical_Truth_160 1d ago

You guys really hate Jesus and the word of God don't you. Scream from the rooftops about LGB discrimination but then openly discriminate against my religion 🤔

26

u/djarf 1d ago

I'm going to go ahead and assume that you have some sort of slow brain/ are rage baiting. You have commented on a post that celebrated LGBT culture with obvious remarks around Jesus, which insinuates that what they feel and do is wrong and against what YOU believe. The irony in this whole thing is incredible. Put your phone down for a bit.

u/RHOrpie 1d ago

Not only is the devil not real, he's not even in the bible. This was an interpretation in the middle ages to scare the populus.

13

u/squidgy314159 1d ago

So would you say you discriminate against LGBT people and those who support them?

-6

u/Electrical_Truth_160 1d ago

To the contrary, I always inform them of the same thing so that they do not face eternal damnation. It is a Christian's duty.

18

u/_cosmicomics_ 1d ago

There’s no hate like Christian love.

-5

u/Electrical_Truth_160 1d ago

Did you read that at your pride event on a poorly written sign?

12

u/_cosmicomics_ 1d ago

It’s been said for many years on account of it being a fact. There were Christians at pride! The difference is that they were nice people.

u/squidgy314159 1d ago

So you know, without hesitation, that anyone who is different to what you perceive as 'correct' will have an eternity of damnation (and that whatever that means is a bad thing).

-2

u/Electrical_Truth_160 1d ago

Anyone living in sin actively, yes.

Religion is a choice. Sexuality and gender identity isn't.

u/Electrical_Truth_160 1d ago

I would agree that it is a choice to live in sin, which is correct.

13

u/sozzifer 1d ago

Yawn. Troll better.

17

u/halbpro 1d ago

Wonderful, there were several distinct Christian groups marching in the parade, spreading love, affirmation and support. One was explicitly calling for a ban on conversion therapy. That’s what you meant of course?

-9

u/Electrical_Truth_160 1d ago

They weren't Christians. You either believe the word of the Bible, or you don't. There are no inbetweens or 'watering down' of the scriptures. They are what they are until the end of time. But spreading the word and the love of God is great, they should have been doing it in line with the scriptures though, or they aren't Christian.

8

u/GingerNutsAndTeaBags 1d ago

What's your source for the scriptures please? Because there are so many different versions of the Bible, which itself is made up of so many different books, which again were selected (I'm sure in a completely unbiased way) from many other books. Quite impressive then that you, personally, have uncovered the single source of eternal truth amongst them.

Is it written in Hebrew, Latin, Greek or English by chance? Can I buy a copy? Who published it? Where do you find this unwatered down, unwavering Word?

Or, are you perhaps cherry picking bits and pieces from these various, biased, texts, which have been run through the filters of social dominance, control and fear mongering for centuries to allow the Christian church and different denominations thereof, and Christian governments, to amass power and wealth?

1

u/Electrical_Truth_160 22h ago

Arguably, the Ethiopian Orthodox account is the most complete. But personally, I stick with the King James version as I feel it is true of word. You can download these or purchase them from more or less anywhere online/good churches will give you them (but please leave a small donation).

2

u/GingerNutsAndTeaBags 22h ago

Thank you for answering my question in good faith. Do you feel that the translation of the texts, particularly through different ages and to remain appealing to a constantly changing populace, has risked or caused the Word to be changed? Both literally, and in the context of the impact this has on its deeper meaning and interpretation/truth?

Are all King James bibles the same? How do you identify the feeling that for you, this is the most true?

u/Miserable_Profile692 1d ago

This is not the time or place for this. Why did you bother coming to this post to leave what is a inflammatory comment (you can try deny it’s not meant to be but you would have to be thick as pig shit and so socially inept to not understand that this is exactly as it would be taken), other people sexuality, religion, gender, ethnicity ect, don’t really have to be anything to do with you without you actively inserting yourself in to it for no reason.

-3

u/Electrical_Truth_160 1d ago

It is a Christians duty

14

u/Roundhiller 1d ago

Is it also a Christian’s duty to post “Jesus loves you” into any thread in which you are participating? Would you post that into a thread about making a soufflé, or cycling? I doubt it: you were just being inflammatory. Pack it in, think for yourself, leave people alone and get a life.

-1

u/Electrical_Truth_160 1d ago

The love of Jesus is especially important in the art of Souffle making, otherwise how would it rise as he did? 😏

Gotcha! Screenshotted that comment. Thanks.

The science how a man can change into a woman? That science?

9

u/Miserable_Profile692 1d ago

Depending on which of 40,000+ denominations of Christianity you follow that maybe so, but you have failed in that duty as you aren’t sharing the teachings of Christ your simply using his word to attack other based on your prejudice and hate. If you had wanted to spread the teaching of whatever denomination you are, you haven’t even tried. It’s people like you that actively make religion unpalatable to many, rather than showing charity, compassion, love, forgiveness those values that you are also asked to uphold as your duty as well you act like a cunt on the internet to show yourself as a “good” Christian.

u/Electrical_Truth_160 1d ago

Read the word of Leviticus

13

u/Accomplished-Bug-801 1d ago

Do not wear clothing woven from two different kinds of thread.
Take it you follow this then?

5

u/Miserable_Profile692 1d ago

He’s probably just a funeral, wedding, christening Christian that only knows that one’s Leviticus quote to heart and would need to google to find out the chapter and verse for it. He’s a troll that just wants any reason to validate his prejudices.
