STORYLINE:
The monthlong celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride reached its exuberant grand finale on Sunday with rainbow-laden revelers taking to the streets for a marquee parades in New York, as well as other locations across the globe.
The wide-ranging festivities functioned as both jubilant parties and political protests, as participants recognized the community's gains while also calling attention to recent anti-LGBTQ+ laws, such as bans on transgender health care, passed by Republican-led states.
The first pride march was held in New York City in 1970 to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Inn uprising, a riot that began with a police raid on a Manhattan gay bar.
In addition to the NYC Pride March, the nation's largest, the city was also expected to play host on Sunday to the Queer Liberation March, an activism-centered event launched five years ago amid concerns that the more mainstream parade had become too corporate.
Tens of thousands of people in hit the streets Sunday for the San Francisco Pride Parade, capping off a series of events celebrating the LGBTQ community in June.
Spectators lined Market Street in San Francisco to cheer on revelers in colorful costumes and floats strewn with rainbow flags representing community groups, politicians, corporations and government agencies.
