Pride and Prejudice: The Debate Over Children at Pride Events

Pride Month sparks debate: Should children attend Pride events? The recent Pride Month celebrations have ignited a discussion about the inclusion of children. A video by content creator Reuben Woodall (@reubenwoodall) argues against excluding children, stating that doing so reinforces harmful stereotypes. "Queer people were also queer children once and they deserve to celebrate too," Woodall says in his video. He uses a visual aid, a Pride Month Bingo card, to highlight common themes of discussion surrounding the event, and shares his own experiences attending Pride events as a teenager. The video has generated significant online engagement, highlighting the importance of this ongoing conversation. While some may find the video's language offensive, the central theme encourages inclusivity and challenges negative perceptions.
