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.
