This year's edition of the Trans Resistance March and Festival in Boston was free and open to the public, as stated on the event's website. However, images have surfaced on social media showing that sex toys were being offered at the refreshment stands, in the same park where dozens of children were walking around.
Family Friendly? Dozens of children were seen holding hands with adults at the "Trans Resistance" festival and march in Boston on June 3. Sex toys were being handed out and offered at refreshment booths.

Last Saturday's gathering began with a march from Stony Brook Station starting at 11:30. Attendees walked a mile to Playstead Park, where a festival with more than 20 speakers and performers followed.
The sex toys were offered by a medical center in Boston. @The_BMC.
In addition to this, groups identifying themselves as leftist militants were seen at the event handing out and waving political propaganda.

Among the crowd were a dozen "LGBTQIA2S+" security guards, according to Trans Resistance, the organizer of the event. They were there even though the Boston police announced before the event that they would be sending officers to ensure the safety of the attendees.
This year, we hired 10 unarmed, LGBTQIA2S+-identified security guards. We experienced a range of harassment and threats this year, and our insurance required security to grant our policy.
On the invitation, Trans Resistance warned that "our notifying them (for the law enforcement) is required by law to host our event." It also instructed the participants on how to act in the presence of the police, making it clear that they should not speak to them:
Please disengage unless spoken to; if you don't feel comfortable or aren't a march leader, direct them to someone who is and follow the directions of the marshals and Trans Resistance leaders.
During the event, eyewitnesses also reported that leftist political propaganda was being handed out.
