NYC, San Francisco and other US cities cap LGBTQ+ Pride month with a mix of party and protest
Briefly

The recent Pride celebrations across the U.S., particularly in New York and San Francisco, highlighted a united front against regressive political actions targeting the LGBTQ+ community. With themes like "Rise Up: Pride in Protest" in New York and "Queer Joy is Resistance" in San Francisco, participants voiced their resistance and commitment to fight for their rights. Individuals like Lance Brammer and Xander Briere expressed deep feelings about the ongoing political challenges, particularly for the transgender community, depicting Pride not just as celebration, but as a necessary act of defiance and solidarity.
With the climate that we have politically, it just seems like they're trying to do away with the whole LGBTQ community, especially the trans community.
It feels like the world hates us right now, but this is a beautiful community celebration of resistance, of history to show the world that we are here and we are not going anywhere.
