*BostonPride’s*typical month-long celebration was already going to look 
markedly different due to the coronavirus pandemic 
<https://www.boston.com/tag/coronavirus>. Now, the organization is 
planning to cancel or refocus most of its planned virtual events in 
order to “support the Black and Brown community,” according to a press 
release. The only remaining event is the organization’s virtual festival 
<https://www.bostonpride.org/virtual-festival/>, on Saturday, June 13 
from noon to 7 p.m. What would usually be marked by a parade through 
Boston and celebration at Government Center will instead be an 
interactive portal where LGBTQ+ community organizations, that would 
normally have booths at the festival, can interact with the public.
