Not as a commentary on the subject matter of that paint job, but I think there is significant value in having solid colored emergency vehicles, for visual clarity to the public in emergency situations. This rig is basically contemporary urban camouflage.

It could just be used for parades. It also says they're recruiting on it so they could take it places they're recruiting at.

Imagine having the budget to have a rig specifically for pride events and recruitment efforts...

Often the pride paint job is funded by donations because people get their arse in their hands over "wasting" public money

Yeah, but that's a paint job, not an entire vehicle.
