It's really not why Pride exists as it is now. Way back when it started, it was same-sex attracted men and women showing the world they're just people. They were campaigning for equal rights to things like employment protection and marriage. Because there was 'gay panic' about homosexual men preying on boys, they went very big on demonstrating no tolerance for child molesters (Peter Tatchell notwithstanding).
The young and starry-eyed among us should read up on PIE, the Paedophile Information Exchange. This movement gained incredible traction among public bodies, operating in plain sight with support from naïve politicians. It achieved rapid success by latching on to the gay rights movement just as Pride succeeded in winning public acceptance, PIE managed to hijack people's regret at thinking all gays were child molesters ... to traffic children under the gay rights flag, knowing it had become unacceptable to associate homosexuals with child abuse.
The parallels between PIE's strategy and the sleazy elements of TQIA++ are glaring.
Gay rights are secure. Same-sex marriage is legal, making the GRA redundant. Being 'trans' or any other alphabet pursuit is nothing to do with being LGB, nothing at all. They've piggy-backed on public goodwill towards gay people, just as PIE did. They're using it to push a circus of sexual fetish into the public sphere. And the paedophiles are in there, working the PIE playbook.
The reason many LGB people distance themselves from Pride and its antics is precisely because it's undermining the acceptance that was so hard-won 40 years ago. Being gay doesn't mean being a pervert, it doesn't mean public indecency, it doesn't mean recruiting children. But this is what Pride means now.
Some of you could do with learning a bit of history - not the rewritten genderist version - from the 1970s onwards. The mere fact that genderists rewrite history should tell you enough about the honesty and motives of this movement.
