I think the Pride bit's quite important, to show a significant proportion of potential recruits that the Forces really have changed since they days you couldn't get a security clearance without being straight, and that they'll be welcomed and allowed to be their true selves. Previous series have given similar coverage to religious observance, so it's just about showing a diverse workforce.
I'd still prefer to see more from the ops room and flight deck though!
Edit: That's what rankled about the young Jack The Lad: Everyone else is showing you can be yourself and have a diverse workplace without impacting on your professionalism and ability to do the job, then you've got Clowny McClownface disrupting an important training exercise with endless one-liners and willy jokes.
