World Pride 2025: LGBTQ+ Rights Under Threat | JQJO

World Pride 2025 in Washington, DC, celebrated the LGBTQ+ community's 50th anniversary of Pride in the nation's capital. The event, featuring a parade, concerts, and a march, highlighted the global fight for equality and visibility. Attendees expressed concerns about the Trump administration's actions impacting LGBTQ+ rights, including restrictions on gender-affirming care and diversity programs. The White House notably did not issue a Pride Month proclamation this year, a decision viewed by some as a microaggression. Former Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the rally, emphasizing unity and continued work towards equality.
