Quote:Public nudity is strictly illegal during Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
Public nudity may be, but flashing is not.
Do you really not know how dishonest it is to always be cherry-picking posts out of context?
You left out:
Quote:While the police may sometimes look the other way for "flashing" in the crowded, rowdy areas of Bourbon Street, it remains a punishable offense.
That literally means it's illegal, illiterate.
Quote:
Quote:"Pride events vary widely, and most are highly regulated, family-friendly gatherings with explicit rules. While some parades feature adult-oriented displays like fetish gear or revealing clothing as a nod to sexual liberation, others enforce strict community guidelines requiring appropriate, all-ages attire."
Again, so nobody is arresting drag queens for being in public. Imagine that!
This statement is a misconception. Public nudity and toplessness are illegal under Louisiana state law, though enforcement is highly localized.
Here is the legal reality:
The Law: State law (Louisiana Revised Statutes R.S. 14:106 Obscenity) classifies the intentional exposure of female breast nipples in any public place as obscenity, carrying heavy fines and potential jail time.
Bourbon Street Exceptions: During Mardi Gras, the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) traditionally exercises discretion and largely looks the other way regarding flashing breasts within the confines of the French Quarter (such as Bourbon Street).
The Parade Route Reality: Outside of Bourbon Street—and along family-friendly parade routes in the Garden District, Uptown, or Mid-City—nudity is not tolerated. If you flash outside the French Quarter, you are highly likely to be arrested for indecent exposure or obscenity.

In other words, totally legal in the French Quarter during Mardis Gras. Oh no! Like children haven't ever seen mammary glands!

Is that what you think police discretion means? @_@
Illiterate degenerate.

And so we come full circle, with Syne simply posting lying insults about me. Pretty pathetic when you come down to it..

You've repeatedly proven you're functionally illiterate, and you obviously don't know what people consider degenerate in many states.

"Functional illiteracy refers to a condition where individuals possess basic reading and writing skills but struggle to apply these skills effectively in everyday situations. Unlike complete illiteracy (the total inability to read or write), functionally illiterate individuals can typically recognize words and read simple sentences, but they face significant challenges when trying to comprehend or use written information in practical contexts."--- https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/funct...illiteracy
Nope...not me at all. You're still lying or just plain ignorant of the words you use. Probably both.
AS for what certain people in certain states consider degenerate, what does that have to do with your supposed belief in some objective state of degeneracy? Why would that even matter? And more specifically, why does not what the vast majority in all states consider NOT degenerate matter more in deciding if pride parades are such?

Repeatedly proven on this forum, hell, within this very thread.
You're in denial, like any dimwit too ignorant to accurately judge their own skills, a la the Dunning-Kruger effect.
You know, if you'd interact with more people in real life, who aren't also complete dimwits, you'd see the same sort of miscommunication with them, as you struggle to comprehend what they say as well.

Another sad strawman, as I've never mentioned any "objective state of degeneracy." I've only explained to you the laws in various places.... that you were complete unaware of.

Give me examples then where I have been unable to comprehend or use written information in a practical context. The very fact that I'm debating and arguing with written information as well as using it to effectively communicate complex ideas and thoughts totally proves you wrong.

So you're withdrawing you're claims that drag queens and pride parades are degenerate. Great! Nothing more to say then.
