(PM.) A recent “family-friendly” Pride event held by the city of Venice, Florida contained the standard features of such events: parades, rainbow flags, a Kids Korner, and provocatively dressed drag queens. But this year’s event contained something extra: A dildo ring toss.
In photographs shared by Libs of TikTok, a table at the city’s third annual family-friendly Pride event proudly displayed a colorful, enticing ring toss game put together with an assortment of dildos.
The event was promoted by the city of Venice on its website, which described it as “celebratory in spirit as evidenced in the diverse mix of entertainers and activities for all ages” with its primary objective being “to build collaboration around the community.”
The group responsible for this highly questionable “family-friendly” activity is CAN Community Health, a Sarasota non-profit group that serves the needs of the HIV community.
Further photographs shared by Libs of TikTok indicate that the dildos are a common feature of their Pride festival booths, with dildos in plain view at an event in Phoenix, AZ as well.
Video footage on the Sarasota School District Transparency Project Facebook page also appears to show a scantily clad male performing a lap dance for a middle-aged woman, in broad daylight at the family-friendly event, which ends with the performer grabbing the woman’s breasts.
