One obscure law from 70 years ago that only prevented *reads wikipedia section* about 5000 people in a country of millions from working at a very specific place, is this really the best defense of your claim ?
>Don't attend, then. No one forces you.
There is a certain audaciousness to the idea of making a parade a public month-long occupation of streets and public squares then telling people they can not attent if they want. The only thing missing is for you to tell the GP to "Make Your Own City Bro" if they don't like what their city is doing.
I can equally say, "Don't attend the UAE then. No one forces you." but I have a feeling you won't take it gracefully.

Who's expecting you ? and who's calling you a pedophile without provocation ?

Don't attend, then. No one forces you.

I'm expected to have "honest conversations" with people who call me a pedophile. You try it for a change.
