You are wrong on the root of the problem
The state doesn't want any kind of violence but violence still happens and something should be done about it.
Russian officials trying to pass a law that would forbid any gay propaganda (which includes gay parades), that should solve a problem with public violence at least for now, obviously it won't solve the hidden part of the problem
After that different approaches might be taken: one of them is to create more tolerance in social majority which seems to be very hard right now

BTW "gay pride" is the US creation which is among other things (like "American democracy", for example) seems to be actively propagated in the whole world by the US, sometimes even by force. There is no unified opinion that this is a good thing

"gay pride" is not the only "pride" in the US and the whole "pride" term is heavily overused in the US right now, especially by ignorant and stupid people it also became a coping mechanism to justify the means of some questionable actions, to give you an example:

we have a black thug and a white thug
so when police arrests both and says these guys are thugs two things may happen:
1. everybody novadays speculates on police brutality, this speculation became a coping mechanism for some outlaws when they try to reach out to press to play on this "socially sensitive" subject
2. there is no doubt gonna be a question: is this black guy called a thug because he's a thug or because he's black? This is also "socially sensitive" subject and also a coping mechanism for some black thugs
3. "gay rights" is another social hysteria right now and it's fresh from the oven, mass media "писают кипятком" when they have something to brag about on this subject
