Dallas Pride events coming up in June
Grab your fans, don your brightest colors, and head to Fair Park for this year's Pride celebration.
The big picture: Some major corporations nationwide have pulled sponsorships of LGBTQ+ events as the Trump administration isn't recognizing Pride Month.
But Dallas Pride still has major sponsors, including Fort Worth-based American Airlines, Austin-based Match and Seattle-based Amazon and Starbucks.
Driving the news: Dallas Pride's theme this year is "Pride is My Right" to recognize challenges to LGBTQ+ rights.
The event includes a festival Saturday and a parade Sunday. The festival features musical performances, vendors and drag shows.
If you go: Dallas Pride festivities take place at Fair Park, 3809 Grand Ave.
Parking is $10. The DART Green Line stops in front of the park.
Saturday: The festival runs 11am-8pm at the Automobile Building.
Tickets are $10 for people 13 and older, free for kids under 12. Online tickets are $14.
Sunday: Festival vendors are open 11am-2pm. The parade starts at 2pm. Free.

27 Style Pieces Amazon Customers Love June 2025
Amazon has a list of products called "Movers and Shakers," which is pretty much just fancy talk for things that are currently ~trending~. Here are some of the most stylish and loved pieces of clothing and accessories on the list recently: A silky satin camisole because this luxe-looking staple piece adds a high-end, sophisticated feel to any outfit — and if you pair it with a blazer, I guarantee you'll be feeling like a Boss Babe. Promising review: "Checks all the boxes for me: stays on my shoulders without slipping around, hides my bra (straps, armpit, and back), super soft/silky, a nice V-neck without being too plunging, beautiful variety of colors. It's well made, with a lining in the top portion and a small dart at the arm pits to avoid that weird upper armpit gape that sometimes happens in camis. Fits true to size. There is a bit of give to the fabric. Good job, Ekouaer." —P SPrice: $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3X and 44 colors and styles) A cap sleeve T-shirt that's casual but elegant, and more importantly, designed to keep your armpits and bra out of sight. Promising review: "This is a closet staple! I LOVE that the underarms have an extra piece of fabric so it doesn't show your bra. Fabric is a nice material, and it is not a crop top, which is such a nice thing these days." —Taylor Amazon CustomerPrice: $12.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 25 colors and styles) A pair of high-waisted running shorts so you can take on your warm weather workouts, errands, and lounging in a breezy, breathable style. BTW, many reviewers find these as impressive (if not better!) than the very similar and very expensive Lulu shorts. Promising reviews: "So good. So breathable and the perfect length. The waistband is comfortable and doesn't ride up. A Lulu equivalent, if not better." —Peyton"These are the perfect running shorts. The elastic waistband is perfectly stretchy and has enough room. But somehow it doesn't move around when you're running. The cut on the sides of the legs is also very useful when you're running. The inside liner isn't uncomfortable and overall just 10/10." —Lisa MoonPrice: $28 (available in sizes XXS–XL and 21 colors) Or, a pair of high-waisted yoga shorts that reviewers love for everything from everyday wear to working out, including running. Folks say they're comfy, breathable, and actually stay put! Promising review: "I am completely in love with these yoga shorts! The fit is absolutely amazing — they're incredibly comfortable and the material feels fantastic against the skin. The length is perfect, hitting just where I like it, and they don't ride up. A huge bonus is the pockets, which are wonderfully deep and actually useful. What makes them even better is the amazing price for such high quality. While they're perfect for yoga, I honestly wear these as my normal everyday shorts because they're that comfortable and versatile. I'm already planning to buy more colors. Highly recommend!" —PhenixPrice: $19.99 (available in sizes XS–3X and 30 colors) A pair of sleek Lee trousers made from a flexible fabric and nonbinding waistband, so you can actually make it through the work day without wanting to rip your pants off. While you might be stuck going into the office again, at least you can still be comfy. Promising review: "Love these. They are stretchy and comfortable. I wore them on plane travel that took two days. Never gave me any trouble. They don't shrink, and I like the pockets. Nice material and they look nice on. Goldilocks dressy casual, not too tight, not baggy. I had to return the Amazon-suggested size as it was too big and too long. I've worn these with sneakers and loafers. Could do a dressy low heel too, with a dressy top, and it would be classy. I have them in two colors and will buy more." —MEPrice: $31.69 (available in sizes 2–18, three lengths, and 10 colors) A spaghetti strap shorts romper since it feels like wearing comfy pajamas, yet is cute enough to wear when you're out and about. Don't mind me living in this 24/7 come summer! Promising review: "I'm just going to say that I absolutely love these rompers! They are well-priced, well-made, and arrived quickly! The size I would say would be a true fit in terms of how you want to wear them. I personally like my rompers to be a little bit bigger, loose, and baggy, and the size I bought was perfect for that. Ended up loving them so much that I bought one more in each shade, leaving my closet with six of these rompers now. They're, in my opinion, just the coziest thing to wear during the spring and summer when the days are nice. Being out and about or just in the coziness of your own home, you don't have to worry about being uncomfortable or itchy in these. After my mom saw them, she decided to purchase some and has been loving them as well. Overall, if you are looking for a casual and cozy outfit, look no further because they will make you so happy annnnd they have pockets." —ShaunaPrice: $17.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 30 colors and styles) A soft ribbed V-neck tank that you'll find yourself reaching for again and again in the coming months. It's comfy, cute, and super versatile. Pair it with jeans, shorts, or a skirt, and then throw on a scarf, cardigan, or light jacket if it's windy out. Promising reviews: "I'm in love with these tops. It makes you look good. I bought three and am buying more. I've washed them and the color didn't fade. Stretchy and comfortable. Soft and lightweight garment." —Flormarina JaimePrice: $11.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 27 colors) A chic cocktail dress if you're in need of a reliable Little Black Little Red Dress, Little Blue Dress, Little Green get where I'm going with this. Point is, this lovely piece is a versatile staple in any color (and it comes in 12). Promising review: "I really like this dress. The material is soft and stretchy, which results in a comfortable dress to wear. The back zipper gives it a more elegant look. The dress is versatile, as you can dress it up or down depending on the accessories you wear. I liked it so much that I also ordered a red one. The fit is true to size. I'm happy with my purchase." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $25.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 12 colors) A pair of boho-style shorts to help you ~keep your cool~ on super hot and humid days. Seriously, don't make the mistake of suffocating in heavy denim shorts — just wear these! Promising review: "LOOOOve these shorts. Only worn a few times, so hopefully they hold up to regular wear. They are really nice thickness (not denim thick but thicker than linen). They are pretty heavily dyed, so definitely wash separately. As others said, SIZE UP for a great fit. The drawstring is really nice. Deep front pockets! I'll definitely order more!" —benPrice: $24.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 44 colors) A pair of crossover-waist leggings with a trendy, somewhat sassy flare cut that'll totally add some ~oomph~ to your workouts, errands, and casual outings. And because I know you're wondering, reviewers confirm they're buttery soft. Promising review: "The material is buttery soft and has the perfect amount of stretch while still feeling supportive. The high-waisted V design stays in place all day — no rolling down! The flare style adds such a fun and trendy touch, making them versatile enough to wear to the gym, on errands, or even to dress up for a casual outing. I've received so many compliments while wearing them. They're true to size, and the length is just right for me (I'm 5'7'). The quality is amazing, especially for the price! I've only washed them a few times, and they still look as good as new. Highly recommend these leggings for anyone looking for style, comfort, and durability!" —Amanda SmithPrice: $12.49+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, four lengths, two inseam styles, and 32 colors) A classic pair of ballet flats since they're ~very cutesy, very demure~ and polite enough *not* to give you blisters. Plus, a pack of low-cut no-show socks to wear with your ballet flats and other summer shoes. No longer shall you have to choose between going barefoot (*shudders*) or having pesky sock lines showing (*sigh*). Promising review: "Love these socks! These stay on very nicely, even slipping shoes on/off. They fit true to size and feel comfortable. They have a little sticky stuff on the heel that keeps them from sliding around. Even barefoot, they stay on. They are thinner than normal socks, but going into summer, that is exactly what I wanted, something light that would keep my feet from sweating in my shoes, and they are low profile, so you can not see them wearing lower-cut tennis shoes. I haven't tried them on dressy shoes, but they seem like they would work for that as well." —MomOfTwoTeenGirlsPrice: $8.49+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 18 pack options, including three, six, and eight pair options). A pleated tennis skirt since it's basically just a flirtier, cuter version of bike shorts. Same comfort and practical functionality, only this style is way more adorable. 🥰 Promising review: "Super cute!! I received MANY compliments on it!! It was super cute and comfy. The shorts didn't ride up, which is a major plus. It accentuated my legs, which is a plus 💜💜!! I plan on purchasing in other colors!! So glad I purchased!!" —DionndraPrice: $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 22 colors) A Gloria Vanderbilt high-rise tapered jean if you've been searching for your new signature jeans. Reviewers of all shapes and sizes praise these for having just the right amount of stretch, a soft, comfy feel, and a stylish fit — plus a reasonable price, to boot! Promising review: "I have practically 'lived' in jeans for years, having gone through designer jean phases and different styles, etc. Lee's was my most recent and constant choice, though. But, after seeing an ad (and a really cheap price) on these, I thought I'd try a pair after looking at the fabric content and pictures. I LOVE THESE JEANS!!!!! They're high quality, comfortable, and fit GREAT!! So happy with the first pair that I went back and bought five more pairs in different shades of blue jean color and tan. Bet you won't stop at just ONE pair either !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" —Just MePrice: $18.94+ (available in sizes 2–20, including short and long sizes, and dozens of colors) A beautiful pendant necklace since every outfit needs a ~finishing touch.~ Depending on your style, you can choose from gold or silver chains and all different colors of pendants, some of which look like an opaque crystal and others like a sparkly gemstone. Promising review: "I absolutely love my Kendra Scott necklace! The craftsmanship is stunning, and it adds the perfect touch of elegance to any outfit. The quality is excellent — the chain is sturdy, and the pendant shines beautifully. I've received so many compliments every time I wear it. Definitely worth every penny!" —KristinaPrice: $60 (available in dozens of styles) A lightweight pullover sweatshirt destined to accompany you on crisp early morning walks and then keep you cozy as you stargaze by the bonfire late into the night. Plus, during the day, you can tie this around your shoulders for a very trendy European-inspired look. Promising review: "I bought it on a whim and wasn't sure if it would suit me, but I love it. It's one of my favorite sweatshirts. I love the baby pink color and the fit of it. It's not too heavy and decently warm for a mildly cool day. Very cozy and soft. I've had it for a couple of years now and still love it." —fountainheadPrice: $6.91+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 11 colors) A blouse with delicate three-quarter puff sleeves that taper into smocked cuffs, which makes it eye-catching without being over the top — and if you really want to stand out, be sure to go for one of the fun, exciting prints rather than a solid color. Promising reviews: "This is such a cute top. The sleeves give it a trendy look. It fits true to size. I would definitely order again." —Tracy Martin"Very nice top. Nice soft material. Has a nice feel to it. Nice and lightweight. Size is as expected. Highly recommend. Great for a spring or fall top." —ipyfePrice: $14.99 (available in sizes S–3X and 31 colors and styles) A pair of lightweight ankle pants boasting four-way stretch, super deep pockets (eeep!) and a casual-but-cool laid-back style. Reviewers are absolutely obsessed (and you will be too). Promising review: "These pants are so amazing, this is my second pair. The fit is perfect, the material is soft, and I love the deep pockets. They are my go-to pants now when I'm heading out. They can be styled up or more casual. You won't find anything to beat these for comfort. I highly recommend. They are true to size." —PamPrice: $34.99 (available in sizes XS–3X and 20 colors) A quick-dry water shoe to keep your feet protected (read: from touching slimy seaweed and pinching sand crabs) while you're splashing in the waves. Promising review: "Best water shoes I've EVER purchased! I got mine about three years ago, and I'm STILL using them! They are comfy and don't feel like a nuisance on my feet! My kiddos and husband liked them too, so I ordered the entire family a pair. Great value for the money and fit to size!" —chrisPrice: $6.99+ (available in sizes 3–14, men's sizes 2–13, and 44 colors and styles) A slightly oversize crewneck T-shirt that'll look totally on-trend with some biker shorts or French tucked into jeans. Best of all, you won't have to feel self-conscious or uncomfy when your ~hot girl tummy issues~ decide to make themselves known. Promising review: "Love this shirt! Material is soft, fit is loose, but not too big. Just ordered four more colors. Easy to dress up or dress casual! If you're looking for a flexible shirt to wear with just about anything, order this one. This shirt makes me feel great, not too clingy, fit is comfortable." —D ThorpePrice: $8.99+ (available in sizes S–3X and 22 colors) A high-waisted capri legging for days when you're feeling as indecisive as the weather. Hot? Cold? Pants? Shorts? Capris are the answer (especially when they're buttery-soft and supportive)! Promising review: "The perfect leggings! These buttery soft leggings fit great and run true to size. They can be paired with a cute top or tee for everyday wear or are versatile enough to wear for yoga, running, or your workout session. They are thin but not see-through! I will be purchasing more of these." —AshleyPrice: $7.49+ (available in sizes S–XXL, three styles, and 37 colors) A silky-soft fitted T-shirt that hugs your body for a smooth 'n' sleek look. Many reviewers find it quite similar to Skims tops, only this one is less than $10. 👀 Reviewers say to size up for a slightly less fitted look. Promising review: "Have bought these tops over and over again. They are 100% worth the hype, affordable, comfortable, and long-lasting. I reach for these tops more than my Skims ones." —Jasmine VillaPrice: $9.95 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 26 colors) A seamless bralette offering full coverage and reliable support *without* the discomfort of wires and chafing. Turns out they're NOT a package deal. Promising review: "I have been searching for a bra that feels like a soft bralette but actually gives me support!! As I've gained weight because I'm pregnant, my bra size has also gone up, and I love how this bra even comes with an extension for when I grow even more. The feel of this bra is perfect for the summer heat; the material is super soft and breathable. I could wear this bra every day and plan to get more!" —cesarPrice: $23.99 (available in sizes S–3X and 14 colors) A Hanes men's fleece hoodie that doesn't actually care what your gender is — it's cozy and effortlessly stylish on everyone. Promising review: "I purchased a black and ash color hoodie like two years ago and wear them both frequently. The quality is great. Also wore throughout both of my pregnancies. Perfect for a little oversized comfy hoodie — color is as described. The material is soft and cozy with a little stretch. I wash on warm and dry in the dryer, and it does not shrink. I've gotten so many compliments on them. The black color also does not fade. Highly recommend. And the price — can't beat it!! These are great sporty/casual/everyday hoodies!" —JessicaPrice: $14.92 (available in men's sizes S–5XL and 36 colors) A gorgeous floral cover-up with so many styling possibilities, it'll practically pay for itself by summer's end. Slip this on over your swimsuits, dresses, tanks, and other warm-weather outfits to give them an extra fashionable touch. Promising review: "I am so big into this kimono look. I now have four of them, all in different colors and lengths. There is plenty of fabric if I want to cross the front and belt it. It falls to mid-thigh in the back (the front curves upward). The first time I wore it, I got a LOT of compliments on it. I am very, very happy with this!" —anniebPrice: $9.99+ (available in sizes S–3X and 39 styles) A tiered maxi skirt for days when shorts or pants of any kind are simply a no. Pair this with a tank or cropped shirt for a fast, pretty outfit, and if you want to dress it up, throw on a blazer or some nice jewelry! Promising review: "What makes any skirt or dress superior? POCKETS! Love this skirt so much, I bought it in two colors! I love a full-length maxi skirt that you can dress up or dress down. As a mom of three, pockets are essential to my wardrobe, and I love that with this skirt I can have style and functionality. I get compliments on them all the time. Wearing the skirt higher up makes it so I'm not constantly stepping on it while I walk." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $34.98 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 34 styles) A cute Sketchers mesh shoe because you've reached that point in life where you simply refuse to buy shoes that aren't functional. According to reviewers, these are lightweight, easy to slip on and off *and* offer plenty of support (so you'd best grab these before your summer trip overseas). Promising review: "Wife has several pairs and kept telling me how great they were and the most comfortable shoes she'd ever had, dress and casual. Well, after continued 'you need a pair or two,' I finally bought a pair. And she was on the mark. Most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Wear them all day and they still feel great. And best of all, they don't cost $200. Got mine on sale for $39.95 and wish I'd gotten two or three pairs at that price. Great value and highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed." —ChuckAmazon CustomerPrice: $34.50+ (available in sizes 5–13, narrow and wide widths, and 24 colors)

We've Reached Rainbow Capitalism's End
I remember the heady days when Out magazine, which I edited from 2006 to 2018, would swell each June for L.G.B.T.Q. Pride month, its pages thick with ads. Our offices became cluttered with vodka bottles emblazoned in Pride flags, sneakers in rainbow hues, underwear so festively gay that they might as well have come with a parade permit. That deployment of marketing budgets to support the gay community became known as rainbow capitalism, and for a time it became a good business. So tickled were we by the excess of it all that we once devoted a feature to the annual deluge of swag. 'Look at this,' we seemed to say. 'We've arrived.' Maybe we were naïve. The forces that once propelled corporate America into the arms of L.G.B.T.Q. America have pivoted, retreating under the weight of political backlash and the calculus of risk aversion. The pink pandering hasn't gone away entirely, but the Trump administration's assault on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives has turned Pride from a brightly colored bandwagon for brands to jump on into a possible liability — or worse, a political statement. Consider BarkBox, a purveyor of pet toys and treats, whose leaked internal message in early June laid bare the new corporate zeitgeist: 'We've made the decision to pause all paid ads and life cycle marketing pushes for the Pride kit effective immediately,' it read, adding, 'We need to acknowledge that the current climate makes this promotion feel more like a political statement than a universally joyful moment for all dog people.' What was once 'universally joyful' is now, apparently, divisive. As if Pride were ever meant to be apolitical. The corporate retreat comes at a moment when pressure to reverse marriage equality is growing. This month the Southern Baptist Convention, emboldened by the overturning of Roe v. Wade, set its sights on Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationally 10 years ago next week. What a way to mark an anniversary. BarkBox is no titan of industry, but such skittishness is echoed by giants. Garnier, Skyy Vodka, Mastercard, Anheuser-Busch, Diageo, PepsiCo, Comcast, Citi and PricewaterhouseCoopers have all slashed their Pride commitments this year, fleeing the parades they once clamored to sponsor. Target, long a mainstay of rainbow capitalism, seems to be trying to revive a version of 'don't ask, don't tell' by trying to have it both ways: still a sponsor of New York City Pride but asking organizers to keep their involvement on the down low. (It was also booted as a sponsor of Twin Cities Pride after pulling back on its D.E.I. efforts.) Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Jimmy Kimmel Isn't Shocked by Trump's Silence on Juneteenth
Welcome to Best of Late Night, a rundown of the previous night's highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. Here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now. Another Day at the Office On Thursday, the United States celebrated Juneteenth, four years after it became a federal holiday honoring the end of slavery. But President Trump didn't acknowledge it, except by complaining on Truth Social that there were too many 'non-working holidays.' Jimmy Kimmel joked that while it might be 'hard to believe, from a president who has done more for Blacks than Abraham Lincoln, Trump is not a fan' of Juneteenth. 'I don't know, to me, it seems like a holiday that celebrates the end of slavery is one we should all be for.' — JIMMY KIMMEL 'If Trump were to acknowledge Juneteenth, he would risk upsetting his not-at-all-racist-and-how-dare-you-say-we-are base. They're like, 'We're the ones who stopped enslaving — they should have a holiday for us!'' — JIMMY KIMMEL 'But then, a miracle happened. Trump did post about Juneteenth. He wrote, 'Too many non-working holidays in America. Soon, we'll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year.' Says the guy who just had a birthday parade for himself. Says the guy who has been in office for 150 days and has golfed 37 times that we know of.' — JIMMY KIMMEL The Punchiest Punchlines (Two Weeks Edition) 'I saw that today the White House said Trump will make a decision on the U.S. involvement in Iran within the next two weeks. All good. No rush. Just take your time.' — JIMMY FALLON 'It's always two weeks. For a guy whose catchphrase was 'You're fired,' no one has ever given more two weeks' notice than Donald J. Trump.' — JIMMY KIMMEL 'If Trump thinks about this decision for two weeks, it'll beat his previous thinking record by two weeks.' — JIMMY FALLON 'Trump understands that starting a war in the Middle East is a lot like quitting your sales job at Best Buy. It's just polite.' — STEPHEN COLBERT The Bits Worth Watching The comedian and actor Mike Birbiglia talked about an intriguing offer he'd gotten for a film role on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers.' Also, Check This Out The 'Law & Order: SVU' star Mariska Hargitay's documentary 'My Mom Jayne' offers a candid portrayal of her family history and the mother she hardly knew, Jayne Mansfield.
