New York City's Pride celebration peaks with a march down Fifth Avenue featuring over 700 groups. The event is historic, with roots tracing back to the 1969 Stonewall riots. This year's events across major cities like San Francisco and Chicago emphasize both celebration and political defiance, especially on the anniversary of the Supreme Court's same-sex marriage ruling. Global cities have hosted or will host their own events as celebrations worldwide highlight continuing progress amidst a backdrop of political pushbacks against LGBTQ+ rights.
The festivities come days after the tenth anniversary of the Supreme Court's landmark June 26, 2015, ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges that recognized same-sex marriage nationwide.
Pride celebrations are typically a daylong mix of jubilant street parties and political protest, but organizers said this year's iterations will take a more defiant stance than recent years.
