On Sunday, April 16, Miami Beach Pride took over Ocean Drive for its annual parade and festival. With the Republican-controlled legislature in Tallahassee hellbent on attacking the LGBTQ community via a flurry of bills, this year's event felt more political than ever and a reminder that the first Pride event at Stonewall in New York City was a riot.
Even Rep. Fabian Basabe, who promised to support the LGBTQ during his campaign run, was in for a rude awakening as protesters jeered his presence at the event, feeling like he's gone against his word.
