Members of an LGBTQ+ police organization protested New York City’s annual Pride March on Sunday after they were barred from participating with their service weapons.

An L.G.B.T.Q. officers’ group had been barred from New York City’s Pride March since 2021. This year, organizers said they could participate only if they left their weapons at home.

In New York City, large throngs of people celebrated as the parade went down Fifth Avenue to downtown. Many of them also demonstrated against President Trump's policies targeting transgender people.
