This may be the single worst and most heinous cooption of Pride I have ever seen. 
liberals tie themselves in the dumbest fucking knots about how they're more patriotic than right-wingers, add nationalism to the very long list of things they have no fucking idea how to rationally conceptualize
Libs when chuds tell them that they're "anti-American:" 
Leftists when chuds tell them that they're anti-American: 
This reminds me of how I'm literally very fucking queer, but despite that, I'm scared of interacting with queer events, organizations, and meetups because I'm black.
Promoting "patriotism" and love for a country that puts me down for my damn ancestry is much in alignment with the tendency for queer crackkkers to not be exempt from racist bullshit just because they're queer.
Tbf this was literally an event hosted by the Vice Presidency on government property.
I don't want to make you discouraged, actual Pride events can still be mixed, but there are definitely some leftist ones if you look depending on where you are.
You're right that probably none of us will find themselves at an event with Kamala Harris in it, but this is very much a widespread issue in the queer community and not isolated to govt events. White (non-immigrant, non-disabled) queers can be especially insufferable, because they have a sense that due to their experience as a queer person, they understand all forms of oppression and have an inherent connection to all other oppressed people. That's obviously not strictly untrue in a sense that all our struggles are connected, but the white privilege invites a lack of effort to understand exactly in what way they are and are not connected, and leads to white queers doing racism pretty often.

Pride is patriotic, yes, just not how they think 
Also obligatory "I love my country" 
My ass is not patriotic. In fact, I explicitly hate heteronormative society worldwide and wish to see it completely upended in hopes that whatever comes out the other side might be less aggrivating

The foundational principles of the United States were lower taxes and more power for the slaveholding rapists that were already mostly in charge.
