This week: Rumors about Seattle Pride, Biden, DeSantis, NYC wood-fired pizzerias, Navy SEALs, and a new 'FernGully' film

Did Videos Show Naked Men at 2023 Seattle Pride Parade, with Families and Children Present?

Earlier this week, we received mail from readers who asked about a story involving Seattle Pride's annual parade. The main question from our readers appeared to be if it was true that viral videos showed some naked men had participated both in and nearby the all-ages parade that had occurred on Sunday, with families and children in attendance.


For example, one reader asked us, "Is this real?," and included a link to an article from The Washington Times. The Times' headline read, "Naked men on bikes expose 'all ages' Seattle Pride Parade to criticism."


Senior Reporter Jordan Liles reports.
