Why Are Kids On Stripper Poles?
Libs of Tik Tok releases footage of the “family-friendly” event that featured a stripper pole.
The scantily clad woman is seen holding the little boy up onto the stripper pole with the child in her arms, who is also holding onto the pole.
Many outraged parents are calling Charlotte’s gay pride stripper pole – child abuse.
Outrage Over Viral Video
Twitter users reacted negatively on Thursday to the viral videos and photos of a young boy on a stripper pole at the gay pride event.
Charlotte’s pride event is another entry in a long series of pride events where children are exposed to overtly sexualized content.
Many conservatives on social media expressed outrage over the video, including Republican political operative Matt Mackowiak who called it “child abuse.”
