The first thing I saw when turning on my SKY glass TV this morning was pride content. I do not know how to hide this. Can someone tell me how please? There are impressionable young children in the house and the fact I cannot remove the sexual preferences of an adult worries me.

Sexual preference? As an LGBTQIA+ person, I'm actually shocked, offended and saddened that people like you still exist. Do you think Pride is all about gay men having "relations" (putting it mildly) in the street? Does Pride go against your religion, your views, your opinions?
Religion is all its forms, I find wrong and go against my views, but my no means am I going to question why Sunday mass and religious channels are allowed on TV. Of course not. I believe everyone has the right to believe in whatever they want and be whoever they want as long as it doesn't physically or emotionally harm another.
Your "impressionable children" should be allowed to watch Pride content if they so wish. It doesn't mean anything. It's good exposure for them to see the entire world and what the world is all about. Similar to how the likes of news for kids like Newsround (BBC) and News2day (RTÉ) is available. IT's giving them all available information to become good, well rounded adults.
Pride is about celebrating the fact that there is LGBTQIA+ people in the world and showing countries that still don't allow LGBTQIA+ people that it's OK to be themselves. Pride is about celebrating those we've lost to the likes of riots and protesting and to celebrate diversity. Pride is about telling every single person out there that love exists for them, that they are accepted, loved and that they have worth. It's telling every single kid out there that no matter what, you are loved.

If your morals and beliefs tell you to shun one or more people because of who they are, you need new morals and beliefs.
