Pride events that took place in many U.S. cities in June presented a mix of the usual community celebrations, along with protest marches opposing President Donald Trump's administration. While the addition of protest marches added a political element to Pride Month events—one that called back to the L.G.B.T.Q. community's roots of speaking out for equality—Pride organizations and sponsors still offered event attendees a variety of ways to celebrate their identities. Here's a look at highlights from last month's Pride events, including marches, festivals, and award shows.
