The parade was expected to draw around 100,000 attendees. This year’s Pride celebrations, which kicked off last weekend in West Hollywood, come in the shadow of political battles over the rights of transgender youths in California schools. Last month, an effort to force schools to require teachers to notify parents of changes in their child’s gender identity and limit access to gender-affirming care fell short of qualifying for the November ballot. Backers have promised to try again in the future, though Democrats in Sacramento have introduced a bill to ban such policies and California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta has sued a conservative school district that instituted a similar measure in 2023. While a national Times poll recently found a major uptick in support for same-sex marriage, same-sex couples raising children and efforts to protect queer people from job discrimination, the poll found that Americans were less supportive of transgender and nonbinary persons.
