Parties and protests mark the culmination of LGBTQ+ Pride month – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
SUMMARY: The monthlong celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride culminates on Sunday with vibrant parades in cities like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. These events will serve both as joyful celebrations and political protests addressing gains and recent anti-LGBTQ+ laws. This year, the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza has influenced the festivities, causing divisions within the community. Pro-Palestinian activists have disrupted several parades, and some groups will spotlight Gaza's victims, sparking reactions from Israel supporters. NYC Pride's executive director noted an increased protest presence, aligning with the event's roots. High security is anticipated due to threats from foreign terrorist organizations.

Rudy Giuliani disbarred over ‘false and misleading’ statements on 2020 election
SUMMARY: Rudy Giuliani has been disbarred by the Appellate Division First Department in New York, a consequence of his false and misleading statements related to former President Donald Trump's 2020 reelection efforts. Giuliani claimed he believed his statements at the time, but the court was unconvinced, arguing he should have known better. The ruling emphasizes the seriousness of his misconduct and its contribution to national strife post-election. Giuliani and several Trump allies pleaded not guilty in Arizona for efforts to overturn the election results, and he agreed to cease election fraud allegations against two Georgia workers after losing a defamation case.
