Five decades of LGBTQ pride was showcased Sunday as crowds gathered outside New York's historic Stonewall Inn to mark the 50th anniversary of the police raid that sparked the modern-day gay rights movement
Crowds gathered outside New York's historic Stonewall Inn on Sunday to celebrate five decades of LGBTQ pride, marking the 50th anniversary of the police raid that sparked the modern-day gay rights movement. Other cities throughout the country held parades.
"I've been to the Pride parade before, but this is the first year I kind of wanted to dress up and get into it," she said. In May, Trump tweeted about Pride Month and praised the"outstanding contributions" of LGBT people. But his administration has also aligned with some religious conservatives in arguing that nondiscrimination protections for those same people can infringe on the religious beliefs of others who oppose same-sex marriage and transgender rights.
Other attendees focused on the progress that's been made within the LGBTQ community over the last few decades. The police presence at the march was heavy, with several officers posted at every corner. Metal barricades were erected along the entire parade route. The larger New York Pride parade had 677 contingents, including community groups, major corporations and cast members from FX's"Pose." Organizers expected at least 150,000 people to march, with hundreds of thousands more lining the streets to watch.
