The Right To Bare All: Should Nudity Be Allowed At Pride?
The never-ending debate on letting it all hang out continues on…
By Bobby Box
In honour of IN Magazine’s 2020 Pride issue, we are revisiting the debate of nudity at Pride, asking individuals in our community where they stand so we can better understand…and perhaps settle things once and for all.
The issue really blew up in 2014, after Toronto District School Board (TDSB) trustee Sam Sotiropoulos led a motion requesting that police enforce the city’s public nudity laws at Toronto Pride. “[Pride] is supposed to be a family-friendly event. If you went to any other ward in the city on that day and paraded around naked, you would likely be arrested,” Sotiropoulos argued at the time.
The controversial request threatened the very tradition of Pride, and was covered by the nation’s most reputable news sources. According to them, Sotiropoulos, a “strong believer in traditional family values,” said he had “no problem participating with Pride,” but could not endorse an event “where the laws against universal nudity are creature flouted.”
His request, supported by two fellow trustees, was ultimately defeated by the TD
Images of attendees said to be at Seattle's LGBTQ+ Pride march have drawn outrage online after some appeared naked in public.
Pictures posted on social media, which Newsweek could not immediately confirm, show people with rainbow flags riding bikes in the nude, and later standing on a street where children were walking past. The story was promptly picked up by several right-wing news outlets.
The safety and wellbeing of children has become a key arguing point for those opposed to greater LGBTQ+ inclusion, especially in school curricula. Some say LGBTQ+ ideology indoctrinates younger people into thinking they are in the wrong body or "grooms" them to be sexualized at a young age.
While several states have sought to limit LGBTQ+ content in the training system and ban children from attending drag shows, gay rights advocates argue that such claims and measures stigmatize young Diverse individuals, impacting their mental health.
Seattle's 49th annual LGBTQ+ Pride event took place on Sunday, first stage in the city's downtown district at 11 a.m. local age (2 p.m. ET) and finishing at 3 p.m. (6 p.m. ET) near the Space Needle north of Belltown.

As multiple cities worldwide hosted LGBT pride events in June, many have exposed children to nudity, pornographic messaging and what critics regard to be indoctrination.

‘ta-da!’ review: A earnest romp full of magic and mayhem

The promo materials for Josh Sharp’s solo show “ta-da!,” a twisted, spicy comic romp now playing at the Greenwich House Theater, tout his “Herculean feat” memorizing 2,000 PowerPoint slides. Indeed, Sharp himself playfully harps on this achievement, as the slides are projected in rapid succession onto the stage backdrop. “I’ve had to memorize that shit. The script is 180 pages long for an 80-minute show,” he crows, displaying the final page from the Google Docs script as proof. “I’ve got to do a swoop every 2.4 seconds.” Impressive as this stunt is, the real triumph is his knack for storytelling, which tugs on the heartstrings as it tickles the funny bone. The thirtysomething, self-described “gay comedian” recounts getting heckled while pe
