Seattle’s LGBT Pride parade on Sunday descended into chaos as participants stripped off their clothes and marched through the streets completely naked while children looked on.
Video filmed by Chloe Cole, a de-transitioner activist, and posted by Frontlines Turning Point USA shows people from a group called “Friends of Denny Blaine” marching in the nude. Some onlookers clapped and cheered, while the video panned to young children watching the spectacle.
Another video shows naked people prancing around an outdoor fountain near children who were playing in the water.
“How is this not indecent exposure?”
The “Friends of Denny Blaine” website says it is dedicated to protecting Denny Blaine Park, which is known for its “historic nude & queer character.” Currently, the park is facing a lawsuit from concerned citizens over its graphic nature, according to the website.
“Nude ≠ Lewd,” “Free to be Naked” and “Nude is Nourishing,” read signs held by the marchers in the parade.
A third video shows naked men cycling in the parade, again to the applause and appreciation of the crowd, though some spectators can be seen shielding the eyes of children from the nude bodies.
The videos caused online fury from viewers shocked by the indecent display.
“How is this not indecent exposure? Wtf?” one X user said.
“Why the f*ck would you take your children to see and celebrate this vile filthy celebration of perversion and degeneracy?” asked another.
A third said: “Those parents are stupid, both for bringing children to a Pride Parade, and for keeping them there when a bunch of naked pervs exposed themselves. Pride Parades are infamous for crap like this.”
Seattle’s municipal code mentions nothing about public nudity, and Seattle Police Department has reiterated multiple times that being nude in Seattle is not a crime in itself.
“However, public nudity can quickly become a case of indecent exposure if the nudity causes a person to reasonably experience fear, alarm or concern,” an SPD press release says.
Instead, the city is governed by Washington’s indecent exposure law.
“A person is guilty of indecent exposure if he or she intentionally makes any open and obscene exposure of his or her person or the person of another knowing that such conduct is likely to cause reasonable affront or alarm.”
Revised Code of Washington 9A.88.010 defines indecent exposure with that language. A subsection of the law says indecent exposure is a misdemeanor “on the first offense if the person exposes himself or herself to a person under the age of fourteen years.”
It is a felony for convicted sex offenders to commit the crime of indecent exposure.
The Seattle Police Department did not return a request for comment when asked whether anyone was arrested during the city’s pride festivities.
Mayor Katie Wilson’s Office also did not return Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
