A Weekend of Pride (34 photos)

Two weeks after the Orlando shooting, the LGBTQ communities in San Francisco and New York held their annual parades. Tight security and memorials made this year more somber than years’ past, as marchers made sure Pulse victims were remembered with signs, photographs and chants. Barbara Poma, the owner of Pulse, attended the New York City event. “Orlando and the world’s gay community are strong and united,” she said. “We will not allow evil to prevail.”
