Dijon Prefect Bans City Center Pride March Over Public Order Risks

In Dijon, the local prefecture has banned the Pride March from taking place in the city center, citing concerns over public order and potential violent actions, a decision strongly opposed by organizers who accuse authorities of repression and lack of genuine dialogue. In Northern Ontario, the East Ferris town council has faced calls to demonstrate stronger support for the Pride community following contentious decisions about the Pride flag. Meanwhile, in Royal Oak, Michigan, city leaders are addressing increasing disruptions and disrespectful behavior at public meetings, with Mayor Mike Fournier emphasizing the need for civility and respect to maintain productive community engagement. These instances reflect ongoing tensions and challenges around public expressions of LGBTQ+ support and civic participation in different communities.
