Nearly 50 years ago, the Stonewall Riots of 1969 in New York were considered the beginning of the modern LGBTQ rights movement.

(AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews)(AP) – There were protests, rainbow flags and performances — it was LGBTQ Pride, after all. With the city’s massive Pride parade canceled, Sunday's performances were virtual, the flags flew in emptier than normal spaces and the protesters were masked. The disruption caused by the virus would be an aggravation in any year, but particularly in this one, the 50th anniversary of the first Pride march in New York City. The organizers are activists who held a protest march last year as an alternative to the main Pride parade, saying it had become too corporate. Other parades canceled this spring included the St. Patrick’s Day parade and Puerto Rican Day parade.

LGBTQ Texans marked a major victory Monday when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that federal civil rights law prevents employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Employment discrimination protections, they say, are necessary but not sufficient for advancing the equal treatment of LGBTQ Texans. The fight for LGBTQ rights has been a long and arduous one in Republican-dominated Texas. In pushing for comprehensive nondiscrimination protections, LGBTQ lawmakers and their allies are also making an economic case.
