Albuquerque Hosts Annual Pride Parade.
Albuquerque's Annual Pride Parade returned with hundreds of attendees celebrating progress amidst an ongoing national battle for LGBTQ rights. The parade was the first since New Mexico passed new protections for the LGBTQ community, including the Reproductive and Gender-Affirming Health Care Freedom Act. Political leaders like Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller, state Rep. Pameyla Herndon, and U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich showed their support. The parade did not end at the State Fairgrounds, but the Annual Pride Fest was moved to Balloon Fiesta Park.
