I do believe that people should at least be able to express their sexuality though. I'll express my heterosexuality, and you can express your whatever.

See, that's the problem. That won't happen. To give rights to one group means taking it away from another.
Their parades where they flaunt their sexuality is nationally subsidized but for you to flaunt your heterosexuality in the same way is criminalized. Straight parades are considered hate crimes and would be promptly shut down. That's what your sexuality is, a crime.

Pride parades used to be demonstrations and protests for equal rights and freedom from oppression, and while that did evolve into a celebration of recognition as those rights were won, the only reason they're subsidized and corporatized today is for profit; to a big company sponsoring an event, the LGBTQ community is just another demographic to exploit by offering false acceptance during pride month and pretending queer people don't exist during the rest of the year. The community isn't the problem, rainbow capitalism is.

I definitely noticed a large amount of companies doing this, this year. Twitch definitely tried to capitalize.
