Jerusalem's annual gay pride parade saw a subdued turnout of 10,000 people under heavy security, reflecting the solemn mood in Israel after months of war. The event, marked by rainbow and Israeli flags, focused on sensitivity to the security situation and included families of hostages from the recent conflict. Despite a smaller turnout and some protests, the parade proceeded without incidents.
A gay pride parade in Port St. Lucie, Florida has been cancelled and other pride events have been restricted to people 21 years and older due to a bill that bans children from adult performances, including drag shows. The bill, which awaits Governor Ron DeSantis' signature, would allow the state to revoke the food and beverage licenses of businesses that admit children to adult performances. The LGBTQ+ community is disappointed with the decision and is working with the city to ensure their safety and produce a positive event.
