Heartbreaking photo: Young girl covers her eyes as nude men walk past during Gay Pride Parade
Warning: Some people may find the images in this blog post
disturbing. Viewer discretion advised.
Earlier this week, our managing editor Steve Jalsevac published
a slideshow with his
photos from the 2011 Toronto Gay Pride Parade. Many of the photos were
shocking. But one commenter pointed out a detail in one photo that many people
probably missed.
The photo says it all: Naked men marching in Toronto’s Pride
parade, showcasing what supporters cheer on as the advancement of “gay rights”
and “sexual liberation.” The naked men march past men, women, and yes even
children. Everyone is encouraged to celebrate “diversity.”
Oh, but what’s this? A young girl with blond hair in a turquoise
teeshirt knows that something is wrong.
The girl, maybe 8 or 9, doesn’t want to see
naked men displaying their genitals. She feels assaulted by what she sees. She
implicitly understands that her innocence is threatened by what she sees. She
knows something wrong is happening.
She does the most natural thing: She hides her
face in her hand to protect herself. She doesn't want to see the genitals of
naked men.
Who will save the children?
