People attending Pride celebrations hosted by LGBTQ+ communities across the United States this weekend expressed outrage at the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the constitutional right to abortion, and a wave of anti-transgender legislation.

NEW YORK/SAN FRANCISCO — People attending Pride celebrations hosted by LGBTQ+ communities across the United States this weekend expressed outrage at the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the constitutional right to abortion, and a wave of anti-transgender legislation.

“This march is going to have more of a serious tone than celebratory, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all,” said Krystal Marx, executive director of Seattle Pride, which drew thousands of people to its parade on Sunday. The marches commemorate protests that broke out after police raided a gay bar at the Stonewall Inn in New York City on June 28, 1969.

Even before the Supreme Court’s ruling against abortion rights, the LGBTQ+ community’s Pride month jubilation was weighed down by a raft of Republican-backed state laws that specifically target transgender youth.
