BOSTON
No pride in occupation!
More than 100,000 people marched in the Boston
Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Trans Pride parade this year. The focus was a
celebration of equal marriage rights in Massach usetts.
The "Come Out Against War and Racism" contingent organized
by the Stonewall Warriors of the International Action Center
also included Network/La Red and the Tiffany Club. The spirited
contingent got a warm response from the thousands and thousands
lining the route of march.
Activists in the contingent distributed several thousand
fliers calling for an LGBT contingent at the July 25 protest
against the Democratic National Con vention at the Commons.
Another flier announced that Teresa Gutierrez, a Latina lesbian
who is Workers World Party's candidate for vice president, will
be speaking in Boston June 23. That leaflet was also well
received.
