Thousands of people gathered in Copley Square in Boston on Saturday for the Pride parade while "No Kings" protesters lined the streets in peaceful protest. Peaceful ProtestsThe "No Kings" protests along the parade route were peaceful and upbeat as the Pride Parade marched from Copley Square to Boston Common.

Saturday's Pride parade and festival in Boston came as protests were held across the nation against the Trump administration's policies.

“No Kings” organizers, including Mass 50501 and the Indivisible Mass Coalition, had encouraged the Boston protesters to join in with the Pride parade, to show “joyous defiance of anti-LGBTQIA+ tyranny of a fascist administration.”

Boston's Pride parade, in Copley Square, coincided with the “No Kings” demonstration, converging the two causes. Twirling rainbow umbrellas and waving Pride flags under drizzling skies, paraders whooped and cheered as they set off through Boston's Back Bay.

Protests are planned in Massachusetts and across the U.S in opposition to President Donald Trump, coinciding with his birthday and a military parade in the nation’s capital.

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey and other elected officials from the Bay State say they are “horrified” by the brazen shootings that left one Minnesota lawmaker dead and another injured.

Millions marched in cities and towns across the U.S. in "No Kings" protests to rally against the Trump administration.

Boston filled with crowds Saturday for the annual Pride parade. But this year's event felt different to some, with a "No Kings" protest against President Trump folded in.
