LGBTQ Group Bars Parents From ‘Pride’ Carnival For Kids

  • An organization focused on supporting LGBTQ youth is holding a pride carnival on Wednesday for individuals ages 12-20, with no parents allowed, according to the group’s website.
  • The Indiana Youth Group, an organization for LGBTQ people ages 12-24, is partnering with Indy Pride, a group that works to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ issues, to hold a “youth carnival” while attendees’ parents participate in activities “off side” or “explore the city,” according to the Indiana Youth Group website.
  • A Indiana Youth Group spokesmen said of parents: “To allow unvetted adults in our center would put youth at risk. The general sociopolitical climate of the US is also inhospitable and hostile to LGBTQ+ children.”
