Pride is so big because LGBT people made it so big. Do I hate the corporate side of it? Yes, to a degree absolutely, but the reason it's gotten corporate support it because of a lot of LGBT people creating a movement that got so big commercial entities saw it as potentially commercially beneficial.
If you want funding, if you want flags, if you want attention, if you want column inches, if you want parades, if you want content, literally nothing is stopping you creating it.

I know that..but this bloke is getting a hell if a lot of stick for doing just that by the LGBTQ community, both on here and outside of here.
A paragraph from the initial story.
He said in a video shared last week on the bar’s Instagram account that he had reached out to a number of corporations who have donated to LGBTQ Pride celebrations over the years to ask if they would support the event, and they told him they typically only donate to registered nonprofits. As a result, he said, he created the nonprofit Heterosexual Awesomeness Inc., which will host the festival, though he hasn’t heard back from any major donors yet.
Perhaps the uproar people have created is stopping his funding...
