Hundreds of thousands line Amsterdam canals for annual Pride boat parade

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered along Amsterdam's canals for the annual Pride boat parade, which served as the centerpiece of the city's Pride festival. The event took place just days after a deadly attack at a Pride event in Berlin, where a suspect was killed by police during a confrontation. Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten participated in the parade, emphasizing the importance of LGBTQ+ rights amid global challenges. Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema noted that additional security measures would be taken in response to the Berlin incident. The parade coincided with World Pride celebrations in Amsterdam, drawing international attendees like Rod Lugtenburg from Toronto. Despite the somber backdrop of recent violence against LGBTQ+ individuals in the Netherlands, the event remained a vibrant display of unity and acceptance.
