NYC Lesbians Unite Rally UN Dag Hammarskjold Plaza organized by Outright International
On March 14, queer activists gathered at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in NYC to reclaim a powerful legacy — the iconic "Lesbian Tent."
First created nearly 30 years ago at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, the Tent is considered a "physical representation of [the] demand for visibility, equality, and justice on the global stage." As governments worldwide continue to attack LGBTQ+ rights, those demands are just as important as ever.
This explicitly inclusive demonstration organized by Outright International and the LBTI Caucus echoed the demands of past generations while looking towards the future.
Keep scrolling for images of resilience, solidarity, and joy, all of which serve as a reminder to the world that LGBTQ+ rights are non-negotiable.

DC hosts WorldPride: What to know about weekend bash
For the first time, WorldPride has descended on Washington, D.C., as the city marks its 50th anniversary of Pride celebrations. The Capital Pride parade will kick off at 2 p.m. EDT Saturday at 14th Street and T Street NW, according to the Capital Pride Alliance, a nonprofit organization promoting LGBTQ rights and organizing the parade. WorldPride events began May 17 and run through this weekend. Jennifer Lopez will headline the World Pride Music Festival on the RFK Campus Festival Grounds on Friday and Saturday. The last time WorldPride was hosted in the United States was in New York in 2019, when approximately 5 million people attended from around the world. In 2023, a million people celebrated in Sydney. Here's what to know about Pride celebrations in the nation's capital. There's a seemingly endless number of events, performances and things to see around the city this weekend. WorldPride will feature 'Rainbow Road,' billed as the largest LGBTQ mural ever painted, according to the artist Lisa Marie Thalhammer. She said she wishes to bring joy and awareness to the community and titled the piece 'We Exist' to rebel against the current administration. The WorldPride music festival Friday and Saturday will welcome LGBTQ icons and world-famous performers on three different stages. Lopez will headline Friday, with Paris Hilton, Trisha Paytas, Rita Ora and Tinashe also slated to perform. Saturday will feature Troye Sivan, Kim Petras, a RuPaul DJ set and a special appearance by Reneé Rapp. The festival is 99 percent sold-out, but final tickets and a list of official afterparties are available on its website. A two-day WorldPride Street Festival will take over part of Pennsylvania Avenue from 2-10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, featuring concerts, food, art exhibitions, artisans and beverages. On Saturday, Cynthia Erivo will headline the postparade concert on 3rd Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, which will also feature performances by David Archuleta and CeCe Peniston. To follow all the events, the Pride365 app is available for download. Organizers have made safety their priority for this year and will alert attendees throughout the weekend if anything arises. WorldPride comes as the Trump administration has shown hostility toward Pride Month, refusing to acknowledge Pride Month and stripping the name of gay civil rights activist Harvey Milk from a Navy ship. 'As the LGBTQ+ community continues its fight for equality, visibility, and justice, WorldPride serves as a powerful rallying cry, and we are working to unite voices worldwide in support of our movement,' WorldPride said on its website. 'The actions being taken by the new administration underline the importance of our continued work and highlight the need for the global community to gather during WorldPride, where we will advocate for and uplift the LGBTQ+ community.' President Trump has rolled back various protections for LGBTQ groups since his first day in office. On Jan. 20, Trump signed an executive order recognizing only two genders and launched a campaign against what he calls 'gender ideology.' He has signed executive orders seeking to ban transgender women from participating in women's sports, restrict gender-affirming care for teenagers under 19 years old, and bar transgender troops from the military. Trump seized on the backlash to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies during his campaign, and corporations have pulled funding for DEI programs and sponsorship of potentially divisive Pride events. San Francisco Pride has a $200,000 budget deficit, while New York Pride has a $750,000 budget gap. This year's Pride attendance has already been impacted by Trump's policies. Phyll Opoku-Gyimah, a British LGBTQ rights activist also known as Lady Phyll, was supposed to deliver opening remarks at the WorldPride Human Rights Conference. She was denied entry to the U.S. due to a recent trip to Cuba. Multiple countries, such as Denmark and Finland, have issued travel advisories for transgender tourists visiting the United States. WorldPride organizers moved Pride events away from the Kennedy Center after Trump named himself chair of the institution. The National Park Service decided to close Dupont Circle Park from Thursday to Sunday, shutting off a popular meeting place for the LGBTQ community during the festival. After back-and-forth between authorities and activists, the United States Park Police said the closure was necessary to reduce possible violence and limit excessive police presence.

Behind the scenes of Trump's 'iconic' McDonald's visit before election victory
Fox Nation is offering a rare glimpse into Donald Trump's pivotal McDonald's visit during the final weeks of his 2024 campaign with a multi-episode installment of "The Art of the Surge." It all starts at a McDonald's drive-thru, where the then-GOP nominee traded a suit for an apron and got to work as a fry cook in Feasterville, Pennsylvania last October. "I've always wanted to work at McDonald's, and I never did," he told workers inside the building. The first episode of the series documents Trump's "first day" on the job from the very beginning, as he requested to work the french fry cooker and learned the process. He walked through, step-by-step, dunking fries into hot oil, shaking the basket, pouring servings into the signature red McDonald's cartons and sprinkling salt over them. Art Of The Surge: Behind The Scenes On President Trump's Road Back To White House Read On The Fox News App It became an iconic moment on the campaign trail as the notorious New York City business magnate-turned-president performed a job many Americans have had at one point in their lives. He even greeted customers wrapped around the building at the drive-thru window. As one family took a Happy Meal from his hands he quipped with a smile, "It's going to be the best you've ever had. It had better be. I made it myself." Customers passed on their messages of encouragement as the high-stakes faceoff with then-vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris was merely two weeks away, with both teams in a mad sprint to the finish line. Customers At The Mcdonald's Trump Visited Applaud Him For Making 'Contact With The Little Guy' "Make America great again!" one driver said. Another, shaking hands with Trump, said, "45-47, you've got this, sir." Trump paused, on occasion, to wave at the mass of fans cheering and holding "Trump-Vance" signs nearby. He told WTXF reporter JoAnn Pileggi that the crowd was smiling and upbeat because they wanted hope. Turning back inside the building, he faced the camera at one point and smiled as he noted how much fun he was having. Opinion: Democrats Can't Buy Anything Like Trump's Genuine Authenticity "I could do this all day. I wouldn't mind this job," he said. Trump's efforts were viewed by many as a mockery of a claim his opponent had worked for the fast food chain while in college. At one point, Trump even remarked, "I've now worked for 15 minutes. Fifteen more than Kamala." As his team departed on his personal plane, Trump's deputy director of communications Margo Martin enthused about the day. Click Here To Join Fox Nation "That was epic," she said. "Donald Trump working the McDonald's drive-thru – iconic." Trump would go on to defeat Harris in the 2024 election, sweeping all campaign swing states, including Pennsylvania. "The Art of the Surge" follows that journey to the finish line even after the McDonald's stop-in, showing last-minute efforts like podcast visits and his massive Madison Square Garden rally, while also featuring Trump allies like Alina Habba, Tulsi Gabbard, Hulk Hogan and more.
