Within the LGBTQ+ community, while Pride is generally viewed as an important community event, some have expressed concerns about how major cities' parades are getting less like grassroots community-run events, including diverse expressions of identity and activists sharing political messages with signs, and getting more shiny, commercialized and commodified. In some major cities, Pride parades have a heavy presence of MegaCorp advertising banners and LGBTQ+ members say there seems to be a goal of making money from the community [[note]]https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/some-members-of-lgbtq-community-believe-pride-has-gotten-too-commercial/1638250/ [[/note]] and selling Pride-themed merchandise, or selling expensive tickets that exclude lower-income participants[[note]]https://www.them.us/story/corporate-pride[[/note]]. The 2020s, in light of aggressive legislation against trans people and non-binary people, has seen some cities take Pride back to its more community-oriented political roots.

* ''Literature/TheTurnerDiaries'' feature Pride Parades and make a note of how they are getting more inclusive over time, now extending to include fetishists and such. [[spoiler: The book is obviously fascist propaganda with the narrative role of the Pride Parade being used to justify antisemitism and homophobia, transphobia and enbyphobia]].

An [[UsefulNotes/PrideParade LGBTQ+ Pride Parade]] is going on. There will be parade floats, LGBT+ organization banners, costumed participants and music. Rainbow flags decorate the streets, and LGBTQ+-friendly restaurants and cafes show their support with signs and posters. Maybe the Pride Parade has little or nothing to do with the plot, being there simply there to spice up the background of whatever the protagonists are doing (any show with a CastFullOfGay is bound to do a Pride episode at least once).

Or maybe it's a major part of the episode. For example, one of the major characters could be helping organizing the whole thing or organize protests against it. Or the presence of the Pride Parade could be the backdrop for a character's ComingOutStory. Or there could be heated debates on what minorities and organizations should and shouldn't be included in the parade. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity may very well ensue]] if one or both sides resort to ActivistFundamentalistAntics.

The parade may be portrayed as a standalone event, or be given context as a part of a larger festival. In the later case, it often includes tie-in events at the {{gay bar}}s around the city, concerts, films, and seminars on issues important to the LGBTQ+ community. There may be contests for the best [[TheBear bear]] (big, strong gay men with a CarpetOfVirility), [[DragQueen drag performers]], and members of the BDSM community.

In RealLife, in most cities, Pride takes place in the month of June as that is when the Stonewall riots occurred. But some locations have it earlier or later in the year if the weather in June isn't friendly to a large outdoor event. In the United States, for example, a few southern and western cities hold Pride in October since the heat isn't so oppressive, and to commemorate National Coming Out Day on the 11th.

** In one of them, there's a guy blocking the parade route, silently holding up a sign quoting a bible verse about homosexuality being an abomination. So a cop comes along and puts him under arrest, which you'd expect to happen in RealLife, since he was blocking the route after all. That's where any semblance of realism ends, however, as Chick's [[StrawCharacter Straw Pro-LGBT Rights People]] proceed to ''[[DisproportionateRetribution beat the guy within an inch of his life]]'' while the cops, instead of trying to break it up, join in with their nightsticks. And then, after the guy confined to a hospital bed, a judge tells him that he's facing a prison sentence for the "hate crime" [[ArtisticLicenseLaw he committed]].

Then it turns out the paper used in ballots for the Papal election had been made from trees cursed by a homophobic Etruscan wizard, and the white smoke from their burning turns the people in the parade into zombies.

* ''Film/BadhaaiDo'': To symbolize that he is now now out of the closet, Shardul puts on a rainbow mask while monitoring a pride parade.
* ''Film/MyFellowAmericans'' has two former presidents trying to escape being killed under the orders of the current president (ItMakesSenseInContext) taking cover in a Gay Pride parade. They aren't trying to get LostInACrowd in this case, but rather are trying to be as visible as possible - not even the bad guy in the film would try to have them killed on live television.

He tells the Presidents they met "Somewhere over the rainbow."
* ''Film/DamselsInDistress'' One day Lily and Thor were in town together, and saw "a parade with rainbow flags." This was a problem for [[TheDitz Thor]], who is so dim that he doesn't know the names of ''colours.''
* ''Film/TheTimesOfHarveyMilk'': Harvey Milk marches in one. In the 1970s they were still rather novel. (The first one in San Francisco was in 1972.) Dan White tries to ban them.
* ''Film/{{Milk}}'' features a recreation of Harvey Milk's participation, including the revelation that he was threatened with death should he take the stage to speak.
