Is It Forbidden to Go to the Pride Parade?
Question
Following up on a question that was asked here not long ago, is there any halakhic prohibition against going to the Pride Parade? Is there any value in it?
Answer
What halakhic prohibition would there be in that? The parade does not come to support the act, but rather the rights that the state and society should grant to people with such inclinations.
There is some value in it, although one cannot deny that it is perceived as assisting transgressors. Especially since the atmosphere and appearance at this parade are extremely distasteful. I would not participate.
