It really has nothing to do with people choosing sexual and romantic partners, and that's not really what Pride is about. That's why there are many LGBT people who don't participate in or support Pride events.
That is the hedonistic principle. Not everyone agrees with that principle, and almost no one agrees with it when taken to its logical conclusion: That all expressions of sexual desire are expressions of love, that all expressions of love are equally valid, and that no expression of love should be repressed.
For example, very few people would agree that scat play -- eating other people's feces as part of sexual play -- is a healthy, normal, or acceptable expression of love. Most people would agree that scat play is sign of sexual deviancy and degeneracy. Yet, the queer movement must necessarily present all forms of sexual deviancy as being equal in value, which is why This Book is Gay -- one of the books that parents are calling to have removed from classrooms and school libraries -- includes a friendly definition of scat play in a list of bizarre sexual fetishes presented to children as normal, healthy expressions of sexuality.
Except your "logical conclusion" missed the most important part of their comment. Here, let me fix it for you:
I agree with this statement, and I think most people would. You're right as well that almost no one would agree with your thought experiment, as it opens up the argument that rape and sexual assault are "expressions of love" when they very much are not. I don't think that was an accident on your part though, considering your account is less than a day old and you decided to come straight to an lgbtq community and participate in the manner in which you have.
Oh no, I guess I'm a hedonist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"sexual deviancy" aaah okay, you've shown us who you are now.
They're applying general relativity to quantum physics my guy. Once you go down to those small minutia the rules change. You don't need to show children sex, just let them know that as long as you're both consenting adults love is okay. You gotta understand, I'm talking about people not getting attacked in the streets for holding hands and you're mentioning scat play, totally different scopes.
