There will also be several road closures around Center City to keep vehicles away from the festival and march route.

Queens Pride Parade highlights LGBTQ+ rights and unity
QUEENS, N.Y. (PIX11) — The beginning of Pride Month kicked off with the 33rd annual Queens Pride Parade, the second-oldest pride parade in the city. This year's celebration also included direct messages to the Trump administration. More Local News 37th Avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens, was filled with colors, music, and Pride Sunday afternoon. 'Love everyone, love everybody,' shouted one of the attendees. A message of love along with this year's theme, defiant Joy and Unity. 'It is probably the most important pride of our lifetime because of the hate and attacks and trying to erase our community,' said David Kilmnick, President of the LGBT Network. Assemblymembers Catalina Cruz and Jessica González-Rojas were two of the three Grand Marshals for this year's Queens Pride Parade. The third one was Andry José Hernández Romero, who is now detained in the maximum-security Prison, CECOT, in El Salvador after being deported by the Trump Administration in March. Romero is a gay man who was seeking asylum in the United States after fleeing Venezuela in May of last year due to alleged threats because of his sexual orientation. He was deported because the government claims his tattoos link him to the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua. 'Andry represents everything that is Queens. He is queer, he is an artist, and he is an immigrant. That is who we are,' said Rojas. 'This is not normal. We can't normalize the disappearance of people under a constitution that is supposed to protect us all, no matter who the president is,' added Cruz. The first Queens Pride Parade was held on June 6, 1993. Decades later, attendees are saying that today is more important than ever to show up because of the current political climate under the Trump administration. More: Latest News from Around the Tri-State 'I really wish they would rethink a lot of these positions; people of the LGBTQ community just want to be able to live and love and have the life that everybody else wants.' Said Aubrey Nelson. 'Syddiq and his wife, Sabar, brought their son, Syris. They say they want him to learn about equality from a very young age. 'You just have to accept everyone, hatred is straight up for losers,' said Syddiq With thousands of spectators, over 140 diverse groups marched down from 89th to 75th Street, promoting the visibility and accomplishments of the LGBTQ+ community and fostering acceptance. 'Transgender people are human, transgender people are right, transgender people are not invisible,' SOT Yanitza Lara. Others are also sending a message to younger generations.

Chicago kicks off Pride Month with powerful brunch event
CHICAGO — Pride Month in Chicago kicked off Sunday with a brunch hosted by Equality Illinois. The event celebrated the LGBTQ+ community and advocated for equality. 'At a very critical moment in our world's history, it's good to know that the fight for justice, the fight for our humanity, still lives on in the soul of this city,' Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said. Mayor Brandon Johnson was one of several friends and allies who filled Venue West for the 2025 Pride Kick-Off Brunch, sharing words of resilience and support. 'Let it be known, in the City of Chicago, we will never flinch or coward or buckle,' Mayor Brandon Johnson said. 'In fact, we will come back even stronger on the other side and our democracy will continue to evolve and Pride Month will always be here.' Mayor Brandon Johnson also mentioned how Chicago has joined a multi-city lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's anti-identity conditions in order to get grants. 'We have been through ups as a community like marriage equality. We have been through downs like the aid's crisis,' Brian Johnson, Equality Illinois' CEO, said. 'It's just a reminder that no matter what is thrown at the queer community, we will be there for each other.' Brian Johnson has led the civil rights organization for the past decade but announced that at the end of the month, he will be stepping down. 'There is no plateau in civil rights. There is no inertia in democracy. We have to constantly be working to maintain your rights and maintain your wins. And I know the organization will continue to do that going forward,' Brian Johnson said. It was announced that Channyn Lynne Parker will serve as interim CEO while the search for a permanent replacement takes place. Kristen Kaza of Slo'Mo and businessman Mark Lieberson were honored for their community work and shown as examples of the continued effort in the fight to maintain wins and defend rights. Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was among the attendees. 'You see this room: people celebrating, not afraid, living their authentic life and really that's what pride is all about,' Lightfoot said. This event kicked off a number of celebrations that run through the month of June, including staples like the city's pride parade, art shows, neighborhood festivals and more.

New 'Happy Gilmore 2' trailer drops at Netflix Tudum fan fest with some familiar NJ places
A new movie trailer shows Adam Sandler's hockey-stick-swinging golfer Happy Gilmore returning in summer 2025, with New Jersey as his backdrop. Netflix revealed the new trailer for the highly anticipated comedy "Happy Gilmore 2" during its Tudum fan event on May 31, teasing a sequel packed with celebrity cameos and callbacks to the 1996 original. Shot across locations in towns including Hoboken, Clifton and Verona, the new movie brings Gilmore out of retirement with a new motivation: ballet school tuition for his daughter. The price tag? $300,000. Gilmore's plan? Take another shot at the pro circuit. The movie set for a July 25 release on Netflix reunites familiar faces from the first installment, including Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin, Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit, Kevin Nealon as Gary Potter and Ben Stiller as the menacing nursing home orderly Hal. The cast also includes Sandler's real-life daughters Sadie and Sunny, wife Jackie, and Bad Bunny in the role of Gilmore's caddie. In the trailer's opening, Sandler's Gilmore wipes out on the tee box while being watched by Eric André, Margaret Qualley and Martin Herlihy. The trailer also includes appearances by Post Malone, Travis Kelce, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, Stephen A. Smith, Becky Lynch, Ken Jennings and others. Sandler hinted at some of the cameos months ago, saying on the "Dan Patrick Show" in December that he filmed with Eminem for a day. 'He said a million things we can use and we are glad we had him on tape,' Sandler said at the time. Sandler co-wrote the script with longtime collaborator Tim Herlihy and brought in Kyle Newacheck to direct. Martin Herlihy, whose father co-wrote the original "Happy Gilmore," joined the cast alongside some fellow "Saturday Night Live" performers and golfers such as Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, Nelly Korda, Jack Nicklaus, John Daly, Paige Spiranac and New Jersey native Scottie Scheffler. Golf courses like Fiddler's Elbow in Bedminster served as key locations. The movie also had temporary sets in Verona, Washington Township and The Oranges, among other New Jersey locations.
