World Pride comes to Washington in the shadow of, and in defiance of, the Trump administration
- World Pride 2025 will be held in Washington D.C., with events beginning on May 31 and concluding with a two-day festival featuring a parade, rally, and concerts on Pennsylvania Avenue on June 7 and 8.
- The event occurs amid concern over the Trump administration's policies, which have led some international participants to plan to skip the event due to fear of harassment or boycott.
- Organizers expect lower international attendance caused by political climate and uncertainties while emphasizing the importance of domestic visibility and resistance.
- D.C. Council Member Zachary Parker stated, “The revolution is now,” and Argentinian activist Mariano Ruiz urged showing up to avoid excluding countries with right-wing governments from hosting LGBTQI+ events.
- Despite challenges, including event cancellations at the Kennedy Center and legal battles over transgender rights, World Pride continues as a major biannual international event usually drawing over a million visitors.
