I had a similar encounter at Pride. They hadn't remotely altered their "Do you have a minute for gay rights?" pitch, and I finally said to one that given I'd just spent the whole day at a queer event, perhaps the issue wasn't whether I had a minute for gay rights, but whether their org had a minute for the rights of any more marginalized queer populations. Doubt it could have any effect, but it really irked me to be asked if I "had a minute" when I was clearly attending an explicitly queer event.
