@Kell - I reject your point (1) because a lot veterans are alive. Maybe you are thinking of Memorial Day.
I think the key difference is that there is no central authority that governs all celebrations. In USA, New Years Day is one day, but in Thailand they take a whole week (Songkran).
The origins and purposes of Veterans Day and Pride Month are different, so it's unreasonable to expect them to have the same conventions.

Because 1) the people we are mourning for are dead. They can’t voice their opinions. While most lgbtq people are still alive. And 2) mourning for an entire month is somewhat too sad, while celebrating sexuality is supposedly... fun. But I do agree that having an entire month celebrating pride depreciates it’s value. @PurpleSeba888

@Kell - I also get them confused. And then there's the Labor Day vs Memorial Day that I somehow flip-flop.
