Thousands of people gathered in New York City on Sunday to commemorate the 51st anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, a police raid on a gay bar that sparked days of protests and launched the modern movement for LGBTQ+ rights. Marchers waved rainbow flags and cheered as they made their way through the streets, celebrating Pride Month and the progress made in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. However, many were mindful of the growing conservative countermovement, including new laws banning gender-affirming care for transgender children.
