HOWEVER she said that it's Christina's choice to do what she wants on stage and that it comes down to the parents. She says she wouldn't take her daughter or son to see Christina live... let alone to a concert at a music festival on a Saturday night at 10pm. It's all about context. She made the point that if it was a Pride Parade held at 2pm in a public place where children are gonna be present (whether part of the festivities or not) then it would be extremely inappropriate and the hate would be justified. But as a late night concert she says any parents who took their children to that are the irresponsible ones.

As someone with no kids myself thought it was an interesting perspective. She's the friend I'm taking to see Christina in Liverpool. She said Christina doesn't deserve to the abuse she is getting.

Why can’t gay pride have elements of a kink festival? What should gay pride be in your opinion? Kink is very much a part of gay culture, why do you want to separate it?

People can do whatever they want at indoor/closed events. My issue is when it’s public and paraded around for all to see - children being my concern which is why this topic even started (someone mentioned children seeing inappropriate stuff at street parades etc).

AGAIN: WHAT CHILDREN?! And where are their parents?! And why aren’t we holding parents responsible for parenting said children?! Girl…what happened to you to hate gay pride so much?

If your complain is about children seeing inappropriate stuff then how is it different from them watching stuff on tv/internet nowadays? It seems like being inappropriate on tv or wherever is ok as long as it follows heterosexual standards.
Xtina is not responsible for peoples’ kids. Parents are the responsible for their kids.

Whats so wrong about it?

Kids being exposed to men pretending they’re dogs, over sexualised performances and a lot of naked? Yeah, nothing to see here.

The Grammys and vmas show the same sexualized and naked performances and kids are watching those too! It’s literally everywhere! All over social media! I’m sure the parents attending know better than to have kids out so late for adult partying! It’s your responsibility to monitor your kids whereabouts and what they are watching. And shielding them from things, does not mean it doesn’t exist or that they won’t seek it out themselves. It’s your job as a parent, to have control over your kids and educate them. Pride is known for embracing sexuality. If you don’t like it, don’t attend, and don’t watch. It’s very simple. Sexuality is not a bad thing.

Can I ask what you have against a kink festival?

Nothing, if it’s a kink festival. Pride isn’t, unless I didn’t get the memo.

You should’ve stopped at Im not gay.

Your post is so full of judgment. Giving me bachelorette at a gay bar vibe.

If you’re not gay, maybe ask those who are why gay pride is the way it is. Learn about the history of it and how it has evolved.

Also, if you think she’s pandering to her audience, you might not really know Xtina. And what does being a mom have to do with a gay pride performance?! Did it affect the way her children are being raised? Jesus.

I’m gay and some of the stuff that happens at pride events turns me right off. It’s ridiculous in some cases. As I said before they’re being turned into kink festivals amongst other things

Christina as always respected that community and don't pander to stereotypes like other artist do. So seeing her do something like this was unnecessarily, she can be over the top expressing herself but this was to much.

Plus she's a mom now, sorry but when you're a mom you got to make better decision.

Exactly. It’s after 10 pm. If the parents are ok with bringing their children to a late show, I don’t see why ppl are so worried about a child seeing a fucking dildo. I’m sure they saw dildos all day long at Pride, and asses, and boobs, and tons of things!

Which is why kids should be nowhere near “pride” which seems to be a kink festival these days from what I see. It’s so wrong.

Sis, it was after 10pm on a stage... she's not doing this at 3pm on a float on the main street.
