Note that a "Pride Parade" is a specific phenomenon. People parading because they are proud of their football team or whatever is ''not'' the same thing. The Pride Parades are about openness and celebration regarding [[GenderAndSexualityTropes gender and sexuality]] minorities, primarily within the GLBTQ community. This can also include fetishits & [[{{BDSM}} sadomasochists]] as well as local ethnic gender identity minorities such as Native American Two-Spirits, depending on what's big in that particular area. Debates on what should and shouldn't be included is sometimes a plot point itself.

Except that this is not a Useful Notes Page on sexual identity politics, and that bit of info does nothing to help people understand pride parades any better. Just because it\'s in a hottip doesn\'t excuse from the rule of Clear and Concise. And having been to parades and festivals in 5 cities and 2 countries, I can tell you that BDSM and fetishism is generally not part of it; they have their OWN event weekends. I\'ve been to those too, and they tend to be a different creature entirely, in both execution and purpose. I meant no insult against the BDSM/fetish community by pointing this out. I seriously don\'t know why must turn everything into an anti-kink crusade.

Pride is usually an all-day affair, with smaller, related taking place over an entire week or weekend depending on the city. The day of the parade is often treated like an informal holiday in the LGBTQ community ("Happy Pride!" is an oft-heard greeting), with the Parade around noon, the festival in the afternoon, and the [[GayBar after-parties]] at night. If the story is gay-centric, then usually the whole event will be covered. Most mainstream works, however, usually focus on the parade since that's what the general populace are exposed to the most.

1. It\'s LGBT. 2. The Q should be included, and the letters explained. 3. Claiming that a minority isn\'t included because members of the minority don\'t do explicit acts during the parade, that\'s one of the creepiest things I have heard in a long time. And it\'s a classic homophobic argument as well, like claiming that there are no gay teachers because it\'s not apropriate to have anal sex in front of children. 4. The pride movement is international, not specific to USA. Presenting a local ethnic minority as representive is just America Is The World.

This is usually an all-day event, often treated like an informal holiday in the GLBT community ("Happy Pride!" is an oft-heard greeting), with the Parade around noon, the festival in the afternoon, and the [[GayBar after-party]] at night. If the story is gay-centric, then usually the whole event will be covered. Most mainstream works, however, usually focus on the parade since that's
what should and shouldn't be included (and why) is sometimes a plot point.
non-GLBT's are exposed to the most.

** Not quite, on the spoiler. [[spoiler: He only thinks ''one'' of them (the played-for-laughs StrawmanConservative, natch) was coming out at the parade; he refuses to shoot because he's been told these are 'imposters' but sees the gay-pride rings one still happens to be carrying and realizes "Those ''are'' the Presidents!"]] The BrickJoke is more that the audience doesn't recognize him at first because at the parade, he was cross-dressing as a member of a marching [[WizardofOz Dorothy]] band. He tells the Presidents they met "Somewhere over the rainbow."

* TheTurnerDiaries feature a Pride Parades and make a note of how they are getting more inclusive over time, now extending to include fetishists and such. Since the book is nazi propaganda, the narrative role of the Pride Parade is to serve as an example of how the jews control the world and weaken the aryan race through the power of perversion.

However, parades that are not about gender and sexuality issues can count as subversions, inversions, RuleOfSymbolism or similar if they are portrayed as "a metaphorical gay pride parade". Claiming to be "openly heterosexual" or "openly white", arranging a parade for "Heterosexual Pride" or "Aryan Pride", is usually meant as an inversion/parody (either by the characters doing it, or by the author). Expect to hear people rant about why these things don't seriously exist, CompletelyMissingThePoint of why pride parades happen in the first place.

* Briefly used in ''MarriedWithChildren'' when Bud tries a cowboy look as a means of attracting a girl. He comes back several minutes later, having been beating up by a Native American pride parade marching half a block from the Bundy house.

** In one of them, there's a guy blocking the parade route, silently holding up a sign quoting a bible verse about homosexuality being an abomination. So a cop comes along and puts him under arrest, which you'd expect to happen in RealLife, since he was blocking the route after all. That's where any semblance of realism ends, however, as Chick's [[StrawPolitical Straw Pro-LGBT Rights People]] proceed to ''[[DisproportionateRetribution beat the guy within an inch of his life]]'' while the cops, instead of trying to break it up, join in with their nightsticks. And then, after the guy confined to a hospital bed, [[BeyondTheImpossible a judge tells him that he's facing a prison sentence for the "hate crime"]] [[YouFailLawForever he committed]].
