"Washington Dems silent on nude Pride cyclists exposing genitalia to crowd including kids, families," Fox News reported.
Claim:
Two videos authentically showed that some naked men participated in the June 2023 Seattle Pride Parade and also bathed in International Fountain, in both instances with families and children present.
Rating:
True
In late June 2023, we received mail from readers who asked about a story involving Seattle Pride's annual parade. The main question from our readers appeared to be if it was true that viral videos showed some naked men had participated both in and nearby the all-ages parade that had occurred on June 25, with families and children in attendance.
For example, one reader asked us, "Is this real?," and included a link to an article from The Washington Times. The Times' headline read, "Naked men on bikes expose 'all ages' Seattle Pride Parade to criticism."
Two videos referenced by the Times provided confirmation that at least a dozen naked men, and possibly some nude women, too, had participated in the festivities in front of families and children, both during and nearby the Seattle Pride Parade, including riding bicycles along the parade route, as well as washing themselves off in the water at International Fountain. The parade has historically drawn as many as 300,000 onlookers, according to a report from 2018.
The first video showed around a dozen naked men who were riding bicycles and waving before moving along, all while following the Seattle Pride Parade route. Signs on the bikes included the words, "Challenge Body Shame," "Build Self Esteem," and "Pride for EVERY Body." Families and children were visible in the video, too, as the reporting said. Also, at least one child was seen riding alongside the men.

The parents should have their heads examined for being at perverted fag parade
The Fremont solstice parade features naked bicyclists and has done so sine 1993.
We really need snopes for this?
I think this guy has a point with the question he asked the officer. And how can that response be justified? For the record, Trudeau was at the Toronto nakkid fest. One can only hope that there a few sensible Canadians out there who will never forget that and remind Trudeau about it constantly.
Those parents are grooming their own children.
The Republican Party should use this (and similar efforts) in its ads.
We have a two-party system, and everyone knows which party the naked clowns vote for.
Thing is, it seems that there are NO Republicans in Seattle, much less King County. I know, there probably are, but they’re cowed into silence by the vast majority.
