The Supreme Court's ruling overturning Roe v. Wade featured prominently in Pride events across the U.S. over the weekend, per multiple reports.
The big picture: Justice Clarence Thomas' concurring opinion about reconsidering protections including same-sex relationships and marriage equality raised concern that hard-won LGBTQ+ freedoms are at risk.
What they're saying: "The anti-abortion playbook and the anti-LGBTQ playbook are one and the same," said Sarah Kate Ellis, chief executive of advocacy group GLAAD in a statement.
- "Both are about denying control over our bodies and making it more dangerous for us to live as we are."
