Spoken like a fool who has no understanding about what gay pride actually is.
Gay people don't go parading because they're proud to just be gay. That's ridiculous. They're parading because they're proud that they can parade through town as openly-gay people. They're proud of the fact that they have overcome so much bigotry and ignorance, and that they have finally come to a point in time in which they can be free to just be who they are.
Gay pride parades are a celebration of culture and liberation from the chains of shame. That's something for which they've waited a long time, and for which they have fought very hard. Sometimes the gay pride parades are intended to be a demonstration for the purposes of activism. They still have so much to overcome, and so many rights to claim.
Don't be so narrow minded! We're here, we're queer- get used to it.
