Fifty years on from the first Pride march, the LGBTQ+ community and their supporters have taken many of their events online this weekend, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
While some activists took to the streets to mark the event, much of the movement's energy was channelled into Global Pride, a 24-hour online event broadcast live online.
In Dublin, the first virtual pride parade was led by Lord Mayor Tom Brabazon.
The show was hosted online by hosts Paul Ryder and Eddie McGuinness.
The Grand Marshal of the parade was Vanessa O'Connell, who is also one of the sign language interpreters during the Department of Health Covid-19 briefings.
Frontline healthcare workers were honoured during the event for their work during the
The wider LGBTQ+ community came together to mark the day with friends, with many hosting their own DIY parades.
A concert celebrating the event is also taking place this evening.
London Pride, one of the biggest events in the Pride calendar, was one major victim of the new restrictions imposed by the pandemic.
Online events replaced it under the slogan: "Postponed, but still united".
In Berlin, police estimated that around 3,500 people marched in temperatures of around 30C
Foreign Minister Heiko Maas tweeted a message of support to the Global Pride event: "Be proud of yourself! No matter who you love, no matter where you live."
In Vienna, around 200 cars and motorbikes decked out in rainbow flags and inflatable unicorns paraded down the city's famous Ringstrasse yesterday afternoon.
Organisers said around 5,000 people turned out to watch the scaled-down event. Vienna's Rainbow Parade, which normally attracts hundreds of thousands of people, was otherwise replaced by online events.
Global Pride, put together by the organisers of several of the major Pride events around the world, was aiming to attract hundreds of millions of viewers around the world.
In the United States, former president Barack Obama released a video message paying tribute to the gay New Yorkers who rioted at the Stonewall Inn in 1969, effectively launching the modern gay rights movement.
"Because of the movement they sparked and the decades of work that followed, marriage equality became the law of the land five years ago and just this month the Supreme Court ruled that employers can no longer discriminate against LGBTQ workers," he said.
Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden issued his own message on video, in which he referred to a recent Supreme Court ruling reaffirming LGBT workers.
"Pride is particularly poignant this year," he said.
In Argentina, public buildings and monuments will be lit in the rainbow colours of the gay rights movement, and local activists have organised a week of online events, even though Pride is normally celebrated there in November.
Meanwhile in Mexico some 200 people marched along Paseo de la Reforma, the main avenue in Mexico City, breaking rules to help contain the pandemic which has killed more than 25,000 people in the country.
The first Pride march was held in 1970 in New York, to mark the first anniversary of the city's Stonewall riots, a landmark event in the gay rights struggle.
