I'm sorry but this is just the far-right co-opting gay rights to push an anti-Muslim agenda.
As far as I'm concerned, fuck Islam's beliefs, I don't care if they're offended at gay pride. if they're first-generation immigrants and want to live in a country where homosexuality is legal, they should be told to accept it or fuck off somewhere else.
However, the right-wing have become very savvy at making it sound like they're suddenly all for freedom and liberal values when they're opposing Islam. They'll take the "enemy's enemy is my friend" mentality, and suddenly we've got stupid gays and "right-wing feminists" supporting them who can't see through what they're doing. As soon as Islam is out of the way, the right-wing will be straight back to an anti-gay and anti-woman rhetoric.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
