Organizers of Pride events across the US are facing challenges including opposition from residents, anti-LGBTQ+ laws, and declining sponsorships from businesses. However, local Pride events remain important to the LGBTQ+ community, providing visibility and support for those who may not feel accepted elsewhere. The Trevor Project reports that young people in affirming environments are less likely to attempt suicide. Pride events also face security concerns, such as the attempted disruption of a Pride in the Park event by a white supremacist group in Idaho. The events continue to promote the LGBTQ+ community's presence and demand for equal rights.
