Statement from Naple PRIDE… Dishing with Mark N Carrie 5-14-26

Statement from Naple PRIDE

Naples Pride is aware of the arrest stemming from footage recorded and publicly posted by an anti-LGBTQ+ individual who attended Naples Pridefest ’26 wearing Meta smart glasses capable of recording video. According to the Naples Police Department arrest report, the individual entered our PrideFest and later uploaded footage online titled “Documenting the grooming churchs at the Naples gay pride trany event, cops had me folowed every where,” which allegedly included two undercover officers in a restroom where there was a reasonable expectation of privacy. The individual was subsequently charged with video voyeurism and dissemination of video voyeurism material.

The irony is difficult to ignore. A man who publicly accused our community of “grooming” now stands accused of unlawfully recording people in a place where privacy is expected.

Naples Pride remains committed to providing a safe, welcoming environment for all PrideFest attendees and is grateful to the Naples Police Department and Collier County Sheriff’s Office for taking this matter seriously and protecting the privacy and safety of those at the event.
