Around the country, “No Kings” protests kicked off as President Donald Trump celebrated his birthday and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army with a military parade. Boston’s “No Kings” demonstration coincided with the city’s Pride parade and festival.

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.

Thousands of people gathered on a rainy Saturday for the “No Kings” protest, which coincided with Boston’s Pride Parade.

"No Kings" protests are planned in several cities and towns in Massachusetts on Saturday June 14, according to organizers.
