Many in the crowd that gathered for the annual Grand Pride Parade on Market Street in downtown St. Louis on Sunday, June 30, were surprised when a group of activists, some affiliated with Resist STL, began to protest Boeing, the lead sponsor of the Pride STLPride Fest 2024 parade. A number of protesters, some with their arms linked through tubes with slogans on them, such as “Black Lives for Palestine,” and “Remember Stonewall” blocked the parade for over an hour while chanting and holding signs proclaiming, "Bombs and war planes are not gay," "Cops out of Pride parade."
