Think most peoples issue with the 'lgbt community' is the extreme gay culture
you look like a twat wearing a gimp suit on a float
but obnoxious people are allowed to exist and spread their faith and beliefs, it's looked down upon but that doesn't mean 'fuck i hate lgbt people they're so obnoxious'.
i don't categorize or think worse of christians for like, mormons who knock on my door every other weekend or worse extremists who protest funereals and shit. i think people at pride events have more meaning after being bottled and hidden from their families so long that it's now 'normal' to be out, and people are finally having themselves recognized as people so shit, there'll be more prideful displays than some
