Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer faced a mix of boos and hisses while walking in the NYC pride march. Viral clips from the event showed him waving a rainbow flag and speaking to the crowd through a bullhorn, with reactions not very good among spectators. He defended his participation by highlighting his long history of supporting LGBTQ+ rights, including being the first U.S. senator to join the parade in 1999 and his early backing of same-sex marriage.
The jeers came amid political tensions, as some progressive groups voiced frustration over Senate Democratic leadership and recent government funding decisions. Or maybe it was people booing the entire event - not just him.
