When I'm standing in the middle of town town Toronto, with over a million people coming out - black, white, gay, straight, bi, trans, male, female, old, young, mom, dad, grandma, grandpa and the family dog, most of them just "getting down and having a good time together" regardless of their backgrounds / color / gender and sexuality - That's pretty damn cool, and that type of unity in a celebration is something worth preserving, even if we have 'proved our point'.
It's no longer just pride over sexuality, but its pride in being yourself, its pride in being part of a city / country that has come so far in acceptance and diversity.
When there are other countries where you can get the death sentence for having gay sex, or where other pride celebrations are being protested with people throwing bombs / rocks / etc at the festivities - being in Canada, and in a City like Toronto, it's something worth being proud about and celebrating.
If you don't like it - don't participate in it. It's not all that hard to avoid if you don't want to see it.
