Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Boston's Copley Square on Saturday for the Pride parade while "No Kings" protesters lined the streets to peacefully demonstrate.

Thousands of people gathered on a rainy Saturday for the “No Kings” protest, which coincided with Boston’s Pride Parade.The protest is one of hundreds across the country to denounce President Trump’s recent policy changes.

In the Greater Boston area, thousands of “No Kings” marches and rallies are taking place, part of major demonstrations planned across the country.

Boston's Pride parade, in Copley Square, coincided with the “No Kings” demonstration, converging the two causes. Twirling rainbow umbrellas and waving Pride flags under drizzling skies, paraders whooped and cheered as they set off through Boston's Back Bay.

“No Kings” organizers, including Mass 50501 and the Indivisible Mass Coalition, had encouraged the Boston protesters to join in with the Pride parade, to show “joyous defiance of anti-LGBTQIA+ tyranny of a fascist administration.”

Saturday's Pride parade and festival in Boston came as protests were held across the nation against the Trump administration's policies.

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey and other elected officials from the Bay State say they are “horrified” by the brazen shootings that left one Minnesota lawmaker dead and another injured.

Thousands of people protested on June 15 in cities across the country against President Donald Trump’s policies.
