Several cities celebrated Pride over the weekend. Here’s what it looked like

Philadelphia, Dallas, and West Hollywood, among others, all held Pride parades and festivals over the weekend. This is what it looked like:

@MomsDemand marched in Dallas #pride parade. LGBTQIA ppl are being targeted by TX lawmakers and silence is complicity.
We must #disarmhate.
We must loudly affirm that LGBTQIA ppl are here and seen and belong and we will fight for them. pic.twitter.com/Vb4G89pOGa
