For Kids, Pride Parade Is A Shot Of Confidence With The Fun

For kids, Pride Parade is a shot of confidence with the fun Along with the naked painted people, leather-bound guys cracking whips and politicians pressing flesh, there is one contingent in the Pride Parade that is always new, and always joyful— children. Whether they’re waving tiny rainbow flags or just walking along bewildered in toddler awe, the kids that join the Pride Parade every year are there for not just fun, but reinforcement of the idea that someone has their backs as they or their parents navigate the shoals of a society that hasn’t fully recognized LGBTQ rights everywhere.
