On the 56th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, U.S. lawmakers and officials commemorated the event as the catalyst for the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, emphasizing the ongoing struggle for equality amid increasing federal government hostility. Pride Month concluded with calls to continue advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and dignity. In London, the 2025 Pride parade attracted over 30,000 participants and more than 500 floats, celebrating diversity and inclusivity along the historic route from Hyde Park to Whitehall. However, the event was disrupted by Youth Demand activists who protested against Cisco, a company accused of providing technology to the Israeli military used in Gaza, by repainting its float and calling for a trade embargo. Five activists were arrested following the disruption. The protest highlighted tensions around corporate sponsorships at Pride events. Meanwhile, demonstrations in Spain’s Basque Country and at the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona showed solidarity with Palestine, with thousands chanting and forming symbolic displays. Additional pro-Palestinian demonstrations also occurred in Manchester, UK. The events underscored the intersection of LGBTQ+ celebrations with broader human rights and geopolitical issues.
