^Why? What's wrong on having her song as the theme for the Gay Pride Parade?

@AyuWorld
Pride parades for the LGBT community (also known as gay pride parades, pride events and pride festivals) are events celebrating lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) culture. The events also at times serve as demonstrations for legal rights such as same-sex marriage. Most pride events occur annually and many take place around June to commemorate the Stonewall riots, a pivotal moment in the modern LGBT rights movement.

Doesn't that statement mean that you are somewhat against gay people?

Part of the message of how beautiful you are was to encourage anyone regardless of their sexuality/appearance/weight/height/disabilities/whatever and tell them that they are beautiful. The PV reinforces that with a theme of universal love between all types of people (men with men, women with women, people who are into S&M, people who have prosthetic legs, etc.)

From Misa-chan's blog:
Quote:
Tokyo_R_Pride: Hamasaki Ayumi fans, please spread. As a conclusion to Tokyo Rainbow Pride on 29/4, all participants will sing ayu’s 「How beautiful You Are」. We are considering making an ayu float too. http://t.co/NuGQpsZw #trp2012 #ayu
ayu_19980408: RT

Tokyo_R_Pride: The PV features homosexual love and praises love of all kinds, and the message of “you are beautiful” goes well with our theme this year, so that’s the main reason why it’s chosen. Please sing it with us!
ayu_19980408: This is a happy story for me, who had learnt my life lessons at Nichome ever since I was a little kid!! Please use my song to make a wonderful closing ballad ♡
I wonder what the Ayu float might look like. Also, Ayu seems like she hung out around Nichome a lot even as a kid. (It's basically a gay district in Shinjuku/Tokyo)

Not a fan of the song but it does fit well. Though I would prefer a more "fun" song like NaNaNa or Shake it<3

Gay parade would be more than enough. I'd prefer Gay rights parade but the main focus of today's parades has little to do with that soooo... xD
The word "pride" may also refer to respect, esteem, appreciation, not just in terms of accomplishment. When you say you're proud of someone or something, you feel certain that this person/thing has a value of some kind, a value to you, society, a company, a cause etc., and in addition to this, pride may also refer to good self-esteem and self-respect, something that of course is important for gay people to have in the face of a narrow-minded world.
So I think the term "gay pride" is meant to say that gay people have just as much value as other people and should feel good about themselves regardless of what others have to say about their sexuality. The parades may not always focus on gay rights, but they do focus on letting people feel happy about themselves and enjoy life, knowing that there's nothing wrong with them and they should go out and feel like valuable human beings instead of staying in the closet.
(Or at least that's how I see it...)

Doesn't surprise me. I get choked up watching the PV. Especially during the scene with everyone walking through the wind. They walk on even through hardships. And Ayu follows them signifying she is helping with them in their struggle.

I think its the perfect theme.
