Yes, and having public figures, and childhood heroes, visibly support these issues will result in those kids telling their parents that what they say is not cool. I know I have done it, from a pretty young age too (probably 13 or 14). Bigoted and prejudiced people keeping their outdated opinions to themselves is already progress.
If one kid that would otherwise be a homophobe or racist doesn't become one because of things like Pride parades, then they're worth the time.
