The recent Pride parade highlighted a mix of celebration and serious issues within the LGBTQ+ community. Although some marchers displayed anti-Trump sentiments, the event largely focused on community joy, with the motto "Queer Joy is Resistance." Speakers like Sister Roma and Honey Mahogany discussed the challenges faced by the community, emphasizing resilience and love. Controversially, the absence of discussion on the case of drag performer Hilary Rivers, detained by ICE, marked a significant tension point amid the festivities, prompting local leaders to push for awareness and action.
But we always win, we lead with love," Sister Roma said.
Our community is under attack and all of our civil rights are under attack," Mahogany said.
