Honestly, and this sounds very "I have a black friend" of me, but by brother-in-law is gay, and (jeez, this sounds so damn cliche, but it's true) my wife played sports in college, so I have a pretty decent amount of gay men and women in my circle of friends. And a good majority of them are longing for the day that things like Pride Parades aren't necessary, and the LGBTQ+ community is just so universally accepted that they now longer have to be so "in your face" about their sexuality.

But, unlike having Pride in your nationality, as no one really bats and eye at Irish, Italian, Puerto Rican, etc parades, religion will forever be the hurdle the LGBTQ+ community cannot get over to ever be universally accepted.

I actually kind of disagree

Even when LGBT becomes accepted in the US, fully accepted and full equality. It still won't be in Europe, Africa, Asia etc.

And gay pride/being in people's faces will help shift the other nations too

There's a reason why Russia and Saudi Arabia keep having to ban every 3rd thing that comes out of the US. They know once LGBT acceptance trickles in, it'll upset the conservative otherism power balance
