Washington (AP) — After the raucous rainbow-hued festivities of Saturday’s parade, the final day of World Pride 2025 in the nation’s capital kicked off on a more downbeat note.
Thousands gathered under grey skies Sunday morning at the Lincoln Memorial for a rally and protest march, as the community gathers its strength for a looming fight under President Donald Trump’s second administration.
“This is not just a party,” Ashley Smith, board president of Capital Pride Alliance. “This is a rally for our lives.”
Smith acknowledged that international attendance numbers for the bi-annual World Pride were measurably down, with many potential attendees avoiding travel to the U.S. due to either fear of harassment or in protest of Trump’s policies.
“That should disturb us and mobilize us,” Smith said.
Protesters cheered on LGBTQ+ activists taking the stage while waving both traditional Pride flags and flags representing transgender, bisexual, intersex and other communities. Many had rainbow glitter and rhinestones adorning their faces. They held signs declaring “Fight back,” “Gay is good,” “Ban bombs not bathrooms” and “We will not be erased.”
Trump’s campaign against transgender protections and oft-stated antipathy for drag shows have set the community on edge, with some hoping to see a renewed wave of street politics in response.

I was waiting for Pride Month to show us what direction the Democrats would take. It’s been awfully quiet. That tells you the Dem’s strategy is trying to claw back to the middle.
Migrant riots help with this too. They can blame Trump for the riots, claim he’s too extreme and cosplay as moderates.
Get back in the closet; perversion is nothing to be proud of.

“Ban bombs not bathrooms”
I’m sure all fathers would prefer to allow their sons to use a public restroom without having to go in and scout first to make sure no homosexual “dates” are happening inside.
To paraphrase Norm MacDonald...
Why are you proud?
I graduated Harvard Medical school
I cured cancer
I like to suck D
On of those does not require anything that can result in pride.
My thoughts exactly.
As always.
And the scribes of this puff piece know this how? Maybe the rest of us are just getting tired of their perversion on parade and surrendering to them.
I wonder which will be bigger next year; the “Pride” celebrations, or the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States. be interestin’ to see.
