🌍 NEWS with PRIDE – 10th September 2025
🇺🇸 Hamtramck, Michigan: A court has ruled the city can legally ban Pride flags (and all non-government flags) from public property, saying the policy treats all groups equally. Activists argue it still erases LGBTQ+ visibility.
🇺🇸 Florida: State officials have begun removing rainbow crosswalks, including one outside the Pulse Nightclub memorial. Critics call it a deliberate attack on queer symbolism in public spaces.
🇺🇸 Oakland, California: Thousands took to the streets for the city’s 15th annual Pride under the theme “In Unity, We Thrive.” The festival featured music icons, family activities, and a strong call for immigrant and trans rights.
🇮🇹 Rome: Around 1,300 LGBTQ+ pilgrims joined a Vatican-sanctioned event, including Mass at St Peter’s Basilica. While controversial among conservatives, it signals a cautious but historic shift in LGBTQ+ acceptance within the Catholic Church.
