The theme of the 48th annual Boston Pride Parade was “Rainbow Resistance,” which harkens back to the parade’s roots, recapturing for these current political times the spirit of activism that brought together the first Pride marches almost 50 years ago. Tens of thousands from all stripes of the rainbow flag filled the streets again this year with more than the 300 groups marching. Leading off this year were some 100 mayors from all over the United States. The mayors were attending the annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, which coincided in Boston with Pride week, and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh invited all of them to march in the spirit of Pride.
