Pride is primarily supposed to be a political protest, not a street carnival. It's to register our presence and demand human rights for a historically oppressed minority that continues to suffer and struggle.
That said, once you've got that many gays at the same place, we gonna party 🥳

Aside from a few places with small populations, queer people worldwide face institutional discrimination and are—at best—second class citizens, and there, pride is still largely a political protest. And that hasn't entirely changed even in those small rich pockets, because true and complete equality is still far. The fact that there's dancing as we march has never been a problem.
But commercial advertising and corporate sponsorship of pride events are a disturbing trend. So, pride is a political event in the sense that commercial interests can still muddy the water, and that it is not meant to be exclusionist towards other minorities.
