Pride Amidst Paranoia: Amsterdam's Boat Parade a Beacon of Resilience The canals of Amsterdam were ablaze with color and music on Saturday as hundreds of thousands gathered to watch the city's annual Pride boat parade.
This joyous spectacle was in stark contrast to the somber mood that has settled over Europe following recent attacks targeting the LGBTQ+ community.
