Pride—and protest

June 26, 2022

Pride returned as a big, festive event today after two years—and just days after the Supreme Court issued a ruling that threatens the lives of millions of women and could also threaten same-sex marriage.

I went looking not just for celebrations but for signs of protest. Here are some of the best:

Andy and Meghan are having none of the SCOTUS decision.

And Sup. Myrna Melgar rode a bike with a sign that says “abortion is healthcare.”
