The purpose of Gay Pride is VISIBILITY.

Straight people constantly ask, what's the point of gay pride? WHY have these events? What's The point of all the rainbow logos on consumer product packaging and corporate logos? Why don't lgbtq people care that Corporations aren't sincere in their support for lgbtq rights? (That's right, by the way, we don't care whether any Corporation is sincere about their support for lgbtq rights or not as long as they get as many rainbows out there as possible!) WHY WHY WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYY?! Answering all of your silly questions, so you can understand, once and for all, what it's all about, and then realize that it should have been obvious to you all along.
