Then they're free to be screeching idiots, it's kind of expected of them when they congregate en masse anyways

As a certified cigarette, do you feel empowered by a bunch of queer folk with skimpy outfits and rainbow decour running around in a straight line?

I'm not too sure if disallowing people from the event because of their political ideologies is necessarily the right message you would want to send in a pride parade.

Reach for the stars, friendo. What I've seen in those links has nothing to do with directly attacking LGBT rights and more to do with giving power (for better or worse) to other people, which may or may not effect LGBT people in a negative way. These links are pretty much nothing but alarmist interpretation of Annoying Orange's agenda, which has been deregulation and free speech/religious liberty from the start. If that happens to bother LGBT people, tough stuff, it's in the constitution. He's been trying to roll back government involvement and putting the power back in state governments. If you disagree with the laws your state government puts into place it is a simple matter of voting for someone else or moving the forget out. I don't like his cabinet picks but calling Annoying Orange an anti-LGBT president on the basis of his cabinet picks and policies that don't even mention LGBT people at all is beyond reaching and straight up character assassination as far as I'm concerned.

it doesn't matter if it's a direct, explicit attack on them specifically. Annoying Orange has made decisions that directly remove protections for LGBT individuals or enable other parties to enact discrimination against them. regardless of whether or not this was his intention or if this reflects his beliefs, those are the consequences of his actions, and it means that LGBT citizens are worse off.
