BOSTON PRIDE
100,000 march for gay rights
Over 100,000 people marched in Boston's annual Lesbian
Gay, Bi, Trans Pride Parade on June 9.
A spirited contingent from Rainbow Flags for Mumia, which
marched with the Lesbian Avengers, carried two banners and
many placards in support of death-row political prisoner
Mumia Abu-Jamal. They got a terrific response from the
thousands along the line of march.
Hundreds of Workers World newspapers were distributed. So
were thousands of fliers s supporting the Sept. 29
demonstration that will surround the White House to overturn
the Bush program. The flier included a statement from Mumia
Abu-Jamal condemning violence against lesbians, gays,
bisexuals and trans people.
The flier also called for action against Sky Publishing
Co. in Cambridge, Mass., which fired a trans worker. Instead
of responding to a discrimination claim that followed, the
company is suing the city of Cambridge to overturn its
anti-discrimination law protecting trans workers.
