At San Francisco‘s recent Pride march, a shocking display of public indecency unfolded as attendees, shockingly, engaged in overtly sexual acts, including oral sex and public urination, all under the guise of celebration. This debauchery wasn’t tucked away in private but performed openly, with one disturbing instance captured where an individual lay in an inflatable pool while another participant urinated on him. The event, questionably labeled “The Fetish Zone,” was supposedly restricted to those 18 and older, yet reports indicate that there was a lax approach to ID checks, if they were conducted at all.
More troubling, the event didn’t shy away from exposing unsuspecting children to these explicit acts. Videos posted by journalists on the scene show naked participants flaunting themselves while young children walked by. One brazen attendee, confronted about his nudity near a child, nonchalantly remarked, “Oh it’s legal here,” as if such a lawless display of public nudity should ever be normalized. Even more distressing, groups with young participants, like the Boy Scouts, were present, exposing them to wildly inappropriate behavior.
Journalists questioning the legality of these actions were met with an indifferent response from the San Francisco Police, who were present not to enforce decency laws but merely to “maintain civility on the outskirts” of the event. The officers, resigned to turning a blind eye, described their enforcement strategy as “pick your battle day.” This hands-off approach by law enforcement is not just a failure to uphold public decency but a capitulation to a fringe agenda that seeks to normalize extreme behaviors in public spaces.
Such events betray a concerning shift in societal norms where moral depravity is celebrated and the rights of the majority to a safe and civil public environment are being sacrificed at the altar of radical freedom of expression. It’s high time we question the leadership in cities like San Francisco, where the boundary between lawful expression and public indecency is not just blurred but seemingly obliterated. This isn’t just about conservative versus liberal values; it’s about maintaining a basic standard of public decency that protects all citizens, especially the young and impressionable.
