I don't see that. It was perfectly acceptable to be prejudiced against LGBTs 30 years ago, and only mildly impolite 20 years ago. In that era, you didn't see companies and political parties asking to be part of Pride. Why would they want to be associated with something so weird and fringe?
Today, it's a serious black mark for a company or a party
not to be seen as LGBT friendly. Pride has the moral and popular high ground now, and others want their validation. It's a sign of how power has shifted dramatically.
