I used to feel like you do. then I had someone explain it to me like this.
every year Christians gather the whole months of November and December to celebrate the birth of their savior. they hang decorations, they show ads on TV, they go around singing their songs to the neighborhood, they play their songs in every single store. for eight weeks this goes on. they do this to feel comfort and unity during this time, and for 10 long months they look forward to this time. to some it can literally be the only thing that makes them carry on.
for disenfranchised LGBTQA+ people pride month is the exact same, and if we can accept Christmas for eight weeks, we can accept gay pride for four.
Where I live people usually start going about it in September or October till mid fucking January. Or at least the supermarkets/advertisements start that. Remember Jesus? Time to waste money, give it to us!

8 weeks? Really?
