World Pride comes to Washington in the shadow of, and in defiance of, the Trump administration
- World Pride 2025 takes place in Washington D.C. Starting May 31 with a welcome concert featuring Shakira at Nationals Stadium, followed by three weeks of LGBTQ+ events across the city.
- The event occurs amid widespread anxiety over President Trump's policies opposing transgender rights, including restrictions on sports, military service, and gender-affirming care.
- Some international participants are boycotting or skipping events due to fear of harassment or as protest, and the Kennedy Center withdrew from hosting Pride events after a Trump-led takeover.
- Ryan Bos, Capital Pride Alliance director, stated, “international numbers won’t be as high due to the climate and the uncertainties,” with hotel bookings about 10% behind last year’s period according to Destination D.C.
- Despite challenges, organizers stress the importance of visibility and resistance, predicting a memorable event reflecting community resilience in the face of restrictive federal policies.
