The Naples City Council may block Pride Fest, a recurring LGBTQ event in Cambier Park, after protests from groups against drag queens and the LGBTQ community. There won't be a decision for another two weeks.

At the Feb. 15 City Council meeting, over 40 people spoke about Pride Fest and the effects it has on the community.

Most of the uproar against the festival was from people who don't feel that Cambier Park is the right place for it.

Will changing the location 'protect children'?

Some suggested that the City Council move Pride Fest to a different location because they're concerned about their children seeing drag performers from the playground at Cambier Park.

Several speakers said that last year's Pride Fest involved performers in revealing outfits, which is something they don't want their kids to see. Naples Pride board member Callhan Soldavini maintains that all performers were appropriately dressed.

Well I guess that they never saw the Dallas Cowboy’s Cheerleaders!

Naples Pride Fest organizers say closing off the festival in a building defeats the purpose of the festival, which is to create a sense of belonging and openness in the LGBTQ community.

Is Pride Fest family-friendly?

Pride Fest has been a recurring event in Naples since 2017 where the LGBTQ community can come together and celebrate their pride through performances, parades, and visiting LGBTQ-owned small businesses' booths.

"Our biggest thing is making it family-friendly," Soldavini said. "There is no sexualization. No more than a cheerleader or Dolly Parton."

Naples Pride Festival was created by Naples Pride members in 2017 as an "all-inclusive annual festival [that] draws thousands of people together to celebrate the unity and diversity of the LGBT community and to promote equal rights for all," according to its website.

"Every child has the right to feel that they belong in our society," Naples resident Michael Sales said. "LGBTQ kids are legitimized by the Naples Pride Festival."

This will be number seven, the seventh Pride festival in Naples. It seems to me if the Pride is so wicked why wasn’t there any arrests for indecent exposure?

"We are confident that they won't deny it because we've been presenting the same application with the drag performances since 2017," Soldavini said. "This has only become an issue this year because it's become such a politicized issue."
