"literally nobody except religious zealouts and boomers"

your exception is a very large part of the population, and a lot of entire nations. And we all know those zealots and boomers are doing massive work to make sure a large chunk of the next generation is also anti-LGBTQ.

when my daughter came out, the only thing I worried about was the fact that her geography changed. The country and planet became much smaller for her. She now has to be more careful about where she travels and chooses to live. If she's on a road trip with her GF, they can't just be "ooh this town is cute, let's stop and check it out."

As I said, pride parades are the easiest thing in the world to avoid. I could probably make money creating a database so people could enter their travel plans and I could warn them about any pride parades happening en route.
