Pride parades are celebrations of being proud to be gay and celebrating that fact and life, not being proud to be American. In my opinion (and MANY others), gays who vote Republican are not proud to be gay. Either they are extremely ignorant to side with those who want to strip them of their civil rights (gonna help them build the ovens too?), or they are dealing with an unfortunate amount of internalized homophobia. They spit in the face of those who have fought for their civil rights that they're finally getting to enjoy some these days. If this was an American pride parade (or New Years parade or St Patrick's Day parade, etc), then I'm with you 100%.
I will take a step back though and say that they're not a hate group, so I shouldn't compare them to the KKK. Perhaps a better comparison would be if a gay conversion therapy group wanted to participate with a float.
