Recently I read offcial website for London Pride, and seems I found part of the answers for the naming issue.
They do not use a lot of terms like queer or LGBT, instead they use neutral words like "you" or "people". It is just so amazing to me, even these are really simple words. However it just shows how neutral and diverse the participants (that they expected) are. It includes everyone, it welcomes everyone.
Indeed, if Pride day is merely a day for LGBT or people who support them, it would be a rather meaningless party. If Pride day excludes some people, then it just does the same thing like those homophobias. The use of "people", therefore, is really one of the best things I have seen in the whole website.
