Bubbles filled the sky and cheers rang through the streets of Toronto on Sunday as thousands of colourfully-clad revelers at Canada's largest Pride parade voiced their support for a community facing rising levels of hate and intolerance.
The massive crowds thronged the city's downtown core, many waving rainbow fans under sunny skies as they tried to beat the heat.
"I think this year in particular, it's been important for the queer community to show up, be visible, and have our voices heard."In the U.S., at least 20 states have enacted laws that either limit or outlaw gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors as part of a larger suite of restrictions being imposed by Republican-led state legislatures.
The increasingly contentious climate prompted Pride event planners in Toronto and beyond to significantly step up security measures. The federal government also pitched in with more than $1.3 million in emergency funding to help with security costs at Pride events.
