US EditionWorldPride Paraders March Through Washington in Defiance of Trump
- LGBTQ+ people and supporters held a WorldPride parade on Saturday through Washington near the White House as a vibrant act of defiance against President Trump's rollback of queer rights.
- The event followed growing concerns about the Trump administration’s executive orders limiting transgender rights and rescinding anti-discrimination policies since its 2024 reelection.
- Dupont Circle was surrounded by fencing through Sunday night, a decision made by the National Park Service and U.S. Park Police to protect the area and prevent possible unrest, a measure that event organizers found upsetting and disruptive to the community.
- Capital Pride Alliance called Dupont Circle a beloved landmark central to the LGBTQ+ community that WorldPride celebrates, while the U.S. Park Police said closures aimed to reduce law enforcement needs and risks.
- The parade, part of weeks-long festivities, highlighted ongoing resistance to restrictions imposed by the Trump administration and underscored concerns about hostility toward the LGBTQ+ community domestically and internationally.
