• The Dyke March returned Saturday after a six-year hiatus with about 35,000 to 50,000 participants celebrating LGBTQ+ solidarity from Dolores Park through the Castro.
• Today’s 55th annual San Francisco Pride Parade begins at 10:30 a.m. on Market Street between the Embarcadero and Civic Center under the theme “Queer Joy is Resistance” and is free to attend.
• New York City’s “Rise Up: Pride in Protest” march starts at 11 a.m. on Fifth Avenue, proceeding past the Stonewall National Monument to Chelsea.
