I will say, I don't agree with some of the more extreme (albeit rare) half-nakedness in some Pride parades - I think Pride Parades should be a fun thing for all the family to watch and so should be age-appropriate.
There is an element of showcasing kinks sometimes and I think that has its place, but in an adults-only environment.
Having said that, I've attended a few parades over the years and the most extreme I have seen are a a few guys wearing leather trousers and leather waistcoats and a few people with pup masks on... it's not anything explicit (you'd see more flesh on a beach and the leather has never been revealing!) and to a kid the pup masks would be totally innocent, but I can absolutely see why some might take umbrage with it.
However, Prides aren't new and so while I think it wouldn't hurt to tame a couple of aspects down a little, nobody is being forced to watch. If someone thinks it inappropriate for their child, they're free not to attend. People know what to expect.
But your point is correct - the idea straight people can't be lewd is ridiculous.
