Okay, but that's not what it is today. In my city it's basically just a parade.

I agree that men shouldn't be going to lesbian bars looking for women to hookup with hoping they're bisexual, and that heterosexual couples shouldn't be bothering women at lesbian bars looking for someone to have a threesome with. So I'd say this one is a fair point.

If you're in a public venue like that, and dressed in a very unconventional way, expect to be photographed. People who are in the closet and can't risk anyone knowing that they're at a Pride event, they're not going there in the first place, and especially not in a sequined thong.

I do agree that a straight person shouldn't go to an LGBT event and start putting down trans people, since it is an LGBT pride event. People are entitled to have opinions, but it is kind of rude to go to a Pride event and then ruin someone else's time by being transphobic.

That's bullshit. They're held in a public place, anyone can go for any reason. Women having a bachelorette party aren't hurting anyone, you don't get to police who is allowed to attend an event. It's not just for gay people to attend, anyone can go.

I half agree. It is an LGBT-themed event, so don't go and then be rude because gay people making out makes you uncomfortable, or people assume you're gay, or complaining that "there's no straight pride events." On the other hand, it's a public event that everyone is welcome to attend, straight people included, and you don't get to police how people act, or take it as an opportunity to put down straight people.
