While the NC gay pride march most likely is a innocent oversight on the part of the organizers, I have no doubt this will be highlighted even more because of what happened in Chicago.

One difference is the organizers of the NC gay pride event made an apology for the scheduling conflict, while as far as I am aware the organizers of the Chicago event did not apologize for the discrimination that occurred at their event.
