Heightened solidarity and unity were on display at the Boston Workers World Party Pride event on June 17. This year’s forum featured LeiLani Dowell, a managing editor of Workers World newspaper; Erica Lopez of Somos Latin@s LGBT Coalition; and Brian Rainey of Queertoday.com. The speakers told of compelling struggles linking the lesbian, gay, bi and trans communities: recent gay bashings, the Bush administration’s anti-immigrant policies and the increasing corporati zation of Pride celebrations in the United States.
