There was a drawing of one of the ponies with the gay pride flag beneath it.

No. That's not the "gay pride" flag. That's the symbol of one of the characters. The character was supposed to be "Firefly," but the creators couldn't get the copyright on that character so instead they made her "Rainbow Dash" (based on another pony from an earlier series). The old Rainbow Dash had rainbow colored hair and a rainbow on her flank, so the new character does the same. But the character is not homosexual or sexual at all (it's a kids' show).

I don't know why the homosexuals picked the rainbow as their symbol (I've asked that question here on the forum) but that does not make the rainbow itself bad. The rainbow is also a traditional symbol of the Noachide Laws. Does that mean that Noachides are an evil "gay" plot, as anti-Semites probably believe?

There’s something odd about GROWN MEN who dress up in ‘My Little Pony’ costumes and attend ‘Brony’ conventions with other GROWN MEN.

All fandoms, especially those based on animation, have what is called "cosplay." It's a geek thing, not a left wing thing or even a sick thing. I'm sure there are sick people who engage in it but that doesn't mean cosplaying is in itself a bad activity.

I’m not talking about the kids and their parents who like this show.

But it’s another thing all together for adults to dress in costume and attend a convention with other adults.

Why? So long as they're not breaking the law what are they doing wrong? And so long as they're attending conventions with other adults they aren't engaged in any sick activity with young children, are they?

Doesn’t that strike you as odd?

Not particularly. No more than people who make their world revolve around the weekly NFL game (which I don't understand at all).

Although I've never been to a convention or cosplayed I'm happy to be a brony. I've written two fan fics based on the show and read many more. Do you think I'm a bad person?

If you don't want to be on my ping list just say so. But I'm sorry if you want off because of this.

I've been a fan of cartoon shows for my entire life. I never understood there to be any shame in it.

I don’t think you’re a bad person,but it’s my personal opinion that it’s odd for grown men to dress in ‘My Little Pony’ costumes and attend conventions with other grown men.

I like “SpongeBob SquarePants” but I’m not going to dress in a character costume and attend a convention.

Just my personal opinion.
