Plenty of groups have overcome oppression, agreed. Many of the groups that march in Pride parades are not among those groups. If you want to make an argument based on ethnicity, then a close analogue would probably be black Americans -- who do have some Pride-like events, e.g. Black History Month.
I'm reminded of when people complain about Black History Month and ask, "When's White History Month, eh?" And the answer is that every month is White History Month. Because white people have more or less wiped black people out of popular history. This erasure is just as present for LGBTQ+ people.
