I'm also not a fan of Pride Month. Just earlier, I was using the TVTime app only to encounter a large notification (that I had to click, it wouldn't let me exit out of it) where they were showcasing all the gay movies and TV shows they'd highlighted for the occasion. To which I just rolled my eyes, clicked, then backed up to what I was actually wanting to see.
Granted, I was on board with it for a long time as it seemed to me that, generally, homosexuals were being demonized and I wasn't a fan of them having difficulty getting married if they wished. So any further normalization of them seemed like a good thing. Ditto for their normalization in film and television.
That was then, however. Now, though, it most certainly has been mostly normalized. Gay marriage is legal, homosexuality is represented (statistically overly represented) on every film and television series. And even in a small, southern, bible-belt town like the one I'm from, if one were to start speaking hatefully about homosexuals in public the vast majority of people around them would turn on them.
The narrative isn't what it was in the 60s anymore. Or even in the 80s. "No religion" is now America's fastest-growing religion. Homosexuals and minorities have won their fights.
The problem is, IMO, that they continue to behave as if they haven't. They enjoy the fight. They enjoy feeling like David battling the Goliath. They don't seem to realize that they, now, are Goliath. And it's just a bit annoying.
That said, people are free to be annoying w/ their opinions. It's no more an infringement on your rights than it is for me to have to look at crosses and billboards about Christ whenever I (an atheist who sees Christianity as a cult) drive down the street.
I understand not personally liking it. But they're not doing anything wrong any more than comedians telling offensive jokes are doing anything wrong. When we're offended, that's our problem. Not the rest of societies.

"they're not doing anything wrong"
Other than shoving their sexuality down everyone's throats, banning terms like 'boy and girl, man and woman' and seeking to cancel anyone who doesn't jump on their pride float!
They are an angry, and noisy group of malcontents who should just shut the hell up!
And corporations promoting pride month are promoting SIN and EVIL, according to my Christian faith.
Therefore they are discriminating against Christians, and promoting the devil's work.

You should have ended there... as your opinion is annoying as well
