The monthlong celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride reached its exuberant grand finale on Sunday, bringing rainbow-laden revelers to the streets for marquee parades across the U.S., to events in Asia, North and South America, and Europe.
The wide-ranging festivities were both jubilant parties and political protests, as participants recognize the community’s gains while also calling attention to recent anti-LGBTQ+ laws, such as bans on transgender health care, passed by Republican-led states.
The selection was curated by AP photo editor Courtney Dittmar in Tokyo.
