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 so glad this decision happened in June. Now we’ll be able to ruin every June for leftists, like they tried to do for us with “Pride” month.
Bingo. Abortion (and artificial contraception) facilitates recreational sex and thus helps gays "normalize" their perverted lifestyles. Gays have a vested interest in promoting the overall licentiousness in society through the courts, the schools, and the media.
How many of these priders end up pregnant? What am I missing here?
Good.
Their high holy month of Pride ends soon.
Started with talk of Monkeypox and ends with the ending of Roe v Wade.
They know they’re next - Justice Thomas said as much.
I do believe it was yellow rain.
Abortion to homos is as useless as tits is n a boar.
What’s more important celebrating sodomy or human life created in the image of God?
Gee, that’s just so sad.
LGBT is a pro-death ideology just like pro-abortion is.
They want innocent little preborn babies to die.
June 24th is now Right To Life Day every year.
Why?! Homosexuals do not reproduce. If they want children they must jump through some hoops to make them—why are they sad about abortion either way? Hyper sexualized and politicized people.
Teleology
The telos of heterosexual intercourse is life and the perpetuation of families, nations, and our species.
What is the telos of homosexual relations?

Feminists must burn.
There used to be stories about animosity toward children and families with children in San Francisco. The gays found the kids grubby and loathsome — “drooling” and “snot nosed” — and called them “crotch fruit”. Some were posted to FR.
Not all gay guys are like that, of course, but a certain segment don’t want kids near them.
Then there are the super feminist lesbians. No, they aren’t interested in making babies the usual way, but align with radical feminist causes and some are inexplicably paranoid about rape. Or perhaps it’s not so inexplicable, as a good percentage of lesbians were sadly sexually abused in childhood.
and June is LIFE MONTH
