Xtube Stars On The Place Of Porn At New York Pride

Porn. We're all watching it so why aren't we talking about it?

That's the question amateur site XTube is asking this Pride, deciding to take matters into their own hands and head to arugably the world's biggest celebration of all things LGBTQ+ in New York.

They weren't playing it under the radar either, and instead hit the New York Pride parade with a float full of porn performers, influencers and an enormous confetti cannon shaped like - you guessed it - a giant penis.

So what is the place of porn at Pride? It has a lot to do with empowering people to make and consume healthy, realistic porn and to act as a sex positive guide where our culture is still lacking when it comes to LGBTQ+ inclusive sex ed, according to XTube.

Due to the undeniable lacking in sufficient LGBTQ sex education across the globe, many young adults are struggling with their sexuality and find that the only path to the answers they need is porn,” a spokesperson says.

“Taking to the internet, there seems to be little help available elsewhere. Meanwhile, gay sex continues to be somewhat of a taboo, with LGBT porn often being viewed as a fetish, stigmatising the industry further.”
