June is a month of celebration for the LGBTQ+ community and marks the official start of summer. This year, Boston’s students, educators, tourists and citizens alike stood up for what they believed in and commemorated the LGBTQ+ community’s achievements with the Boston Pride Parade, “No Kings” protest, concerts and joy. We sent our photo staff to capture it all, and here’s the best of what they brought back.
