Hey, at least they aren't carrying that sign of insurrectionists and slave owners, the Confederate flag. I find that to be significantly more problematic. But I am sure you are fine with that. Like they do in South Carolina. No doubt. And she is likely OK with that. A flag that was the symbol of a group that went to war with the US, tried to divide the country, wanted to keep slavery, and "was for states rights". Same argument about states rights today. The insurrectionists on 1/6 carried that flag through the capitol. Yet they have no problem with that. I think their priorities are screwed up. I do not want to hear the crap about "southern pride". It is all bullshit.

I never said there was anything wrong with bdsm or expression. I don't think young kids should be exposed to it especially at a parade. I used to party when gay pride was going on in NY in the 80's had a great time even experimented a little. I was an adult. I'll repeat.. kids don't know what it is. They simply see someone dressed 'in costume'. You're the one projecting your hangups on them. I'll repeat I don't think kids should be exposed to it. I'm not projecting anything. I highly doubt anyone on this board is qualified to say it's good for a child to be subject to people walking around with dildos hanging off their head and shown they are submissive to another.

You don't have a clue to what I believe or who I am yet you think you are qualified to judge me because I say they have the right to protest. Well fucking guess what the KKK has a right to assemble I hate those mother fuckers too yet they have the right.

I highly doubt anyone on this board is qualified to say it's good for a child to be subject to people walking around with dildos hanging off their head and shown they are submissive to another. The bdsm group is such a small part of pride. Ive taken my kids to pride every year it's a non-issue. We talk to them in age appropriate ways about things they see that they have questions about. I'm not a huge fan of adults in leashes, but that doesn't mean I freak out and refuse to let my kids go. It just means I have can have a conversation. It's a big party to my kids but they understand the importanceof the event. That being seen is important to people who havent always had that or still might not. That a lot of work has been done that allow their dad and I to live our lives and even that we were able to have kids as an openly queer couple with the help of medical professionals. (Side note - adoption options were significantly limited for us at the time). Some people dress up for parties. Sometimes we don't get or like someone's outfit. So we move on. No big deal.

Thinking your daughter, who likely has an associates degree, is more qualified to answer most medical questions tells me a whole lot about me. I am well aware of my qualifications, strengths, and weaknesses. But hey, you are the one who thinks the opinion of an Army General is less important then you and yours when it comes to the owning on an AR 15. Maybe you should look in the mirror and reconsider the fact that you do not know what you think you know

I highly doubt anyone on this board is qualified to say it's good for a child to be subject to people walking around with dildos hanging off their head and shown they are submissive to another. But we think it's okay in this country for our elected officials to be on national TV swinging rifles around proudly declaring they are going to go to war against those who disagree with their views of America. The guy with the dildo on his head isn't threatening anyone. It's not like he's threatening to shove it up your backside if you don't support LBGTQ rights. He's a guy wearing a dildo minding his own business at an event that embraces sexuality in all it's forms. I'd rather my child be "subjected" to someone peaceful who represents accepting who you are than someone who implies they are willing to murder people who dare have a different viewpoint.

He's not "playing one on tv" .. or in this case, on the forum. That makes him *far and away* more credible than your daughter.

Before I start I would like to commend your strength and resolve for you and your spouse. Oh I'm sure I will get flamed for this shit too. It doesn't matter if it is a group that has hatred for another person, religion, color, sex, nationality etc.... they are free to like hate or love anyone they so choose. Do I like it no but that it what freedom means. It cannot be all kimbaya. To have a free nation all has to be free to their own opinions. Notice I said opinions I did not say they can break the law expressing those opinions.

I was just stating about so called medical professionals. Everyone says that shit, yet when COVID broke out, everyone came to us for treatment. As is the case for when everyone else gets sick. So, if you believe that we are incompetent, you are free to treat yourself, take out your own appendix, or treat your own gunshot wound. Life expectancy has increased by over 30 years in the last 100, death rates for cancer and heart disease are down. Pretty good in my opinion for people who you look down upon.

So don't bring your kids to it. Others would like their children to grow up being open minded and understanding of those who have a different lifestyle.

Can anyone here say they never got a second opinion or changed dr's because they were not satisfied with the level of care?

And having a masters is great. I'm not dismissing the achievement in any way. But that doesn't magically make her an expert on everything medical. I feel a physician still knows more.

Does she look traumatized? She just sees a doggie costume. 'I have a problem with anyone with a leash on parading out in public especially in front of children.
If you have a problem with it, don't bring your children. End of story. Other people don't have a problem with it. I don't have a problem with it. I used to bring DS to the Pride parades all the time! The parades are chock-a-block with children, and sometimes they have their own floats. He's still as straight as an arrow, and never dressed up in a dog suit.

Just like every other professions, people in medicine have different levels of abilities. Medicine is not black and white, and there are different opinions on how to treat things. So doctors disagree. It is the nature of the field. How are you sure hte second opinion is the correct one? You have moved the goalpost though. You are now claiming something that you didn't claim before. And before I get too impressed with your daughters masters, what is it in exactly, and where is it from? University of Phoenix?

Are the dermatologists, personal physicians, and gynecologists that you go to 'so-called' doctors, or are they real doctors?

Nothing actual medical. I was nothing to your skill of being a dr. I will stand by that.
