Again as you said it yourself it's about oppression. It's still a bold statement if anything. That the nations these happen in have the courage to put on a celebration of love and being yourself. In some places people are still being beheaded for this stuff. Even in the United States: a country supposedly lgbt+ loving: still has anti lgbt+ people. And they don't even keep it to themselves. Bullying, abuse, harassment, homelessness, suicides, ect is all still very high in the community. So if you want to take the parades and celebrations away think of that: you don't have time to drive an extra few minutes, or walk for that matter, for someone's happiness and hope.
Also, as you have said "in the past" these things are also about remembering the past and what people have fought to have and are still fighting to have. And with the logic of taking away things to remember the past that's like taking away things like 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and Holiday celebrations.
P.S. you could have worded your message better for me to take you seriously because at this point I just think of you as an angry dude who doesn't think before he presses enter.
This is a post to all the anti-lgbt+ trolls on this site
