NEW YORK/SAN FRANCISCO, June 26 (Reuters) - 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.
For more than 50 years, LGBTQ+ people and supporters have marched on the last weekend in June to celebrate hard-won freedoms. But now many fear those freedoms are under threat.
Pride parades in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle and Denver followed protests in some of the same cities decrying the Supreme Court's decision on Friday to reverse the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
"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.
In New York City, throngs of people dressed in rainbow colors cheered as representatives of the abortion rights group Planned Parenthood took part in a parade in Manhattan. The marchers held pink signs that read "Together. We fight for all."
"Everybody please scream for Planned Parenthood!" an announcer called over a loudspeaker. "We won't back down!" the crowd responded.
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.
LGBTQ leaders fear the abortion ruling by the court's conservative justices endangers personal freedom beyond abortion rights. In a concurring opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that the Court might reconsider other precedents, mentioning specifically the rulings protecting the rights to contraception, same-sex intimacy and gay marriage.

I'm very, very concerned about this.
“The overturn of Roe caused it to rain on their parade.”
Why? They have no horse in the race anyway.

But now many fear those PERVERSIONS are under threat.
We are taking the rainbow back.
So am I. This defies reason.
LGBT - half of them can’t get pg because their sexual practices are not conducive to creating life and the other half of them are too messed up to ‘mess’ with, so I don’t see how abortion is even relevant to them.
Good. I’d like to see all of them shoved back into the closet.
Tells you all you need to know. Those people REJOICE in the ability to MURDER the Unborn. And, are outraged when their ability to MURDER the most innocent is interfered with.
Every part of the leftist movement is connected to every other part, a gigantic hive mind.
Why would faggots be upset that baby-killing is now illegal in some states? Their activities don’t produce babies. It’s illogical.
Then again, a man sticking it up another man’s rectum isn’t logical either.
The common interest is sexual licence; their horse is pale and is called “Death”.
Someone rained on their parades.
Good
As Eddie Murphy said “That’s nasty!”
That’s why you don’t see Eddie in new movies anymore.
Homos worried about getting pregnant. Makes no sense

All this whacko hoopla is all for nothing.
Abortion is still available is many states.
It’s not that they have a horse in the race but that their leftist totalitarian world view has been shaken and they are now verklempt.
I’m pretty sure they are the people least likely to worry about an abortion.
One of the pillars to their
Perversity have been toppled and the jaws of
Hell Open Further,
