Here’s what TMZ reported:
Pro-Palestine protesters faced off with marchers during Philadelphia’s Pride Parade … stopping the flow of the annual event — and creating a pretty chaotic scene.
Video circulating on social media captures the moment the two groups met in the City of Brotherly Love … with the LGBTQ+ walk halted in front of Pro-Palestinian individuals yelling out “Palestine will live forever! From the sea to the river!”
ADVERTISEMENTDrummers in the LGBTQ+ march are beating away on drums while protesters on the other side scream their chants … and, a few people start getting testy, with one person seemingly held back from approaching the Palestine protesters.
Worth noting … many of the Pro-Palestine protesters have LGBTQ+ friendly clothing on, so it seems they may be celebrating Pride while still protesting for Palestine.

Per The New York Post:
Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters crashed a gay pride parade in Philadelphia on Sunday, bringing the celebratory march to a halt.
Hundreds of LGBTQ+ revelers were met by the political protesters chanting the anti-Israel slogan, “Palestine will live forever! From the sea to the river!” at the end of the parade route in the City of Brotherly Love, according to a video posted on X by conservative pundit Jack Posobiec.
The showdown took place at the intersection of 11th Street and Locust Street after the Philly Pride March and Festival kicked off around 10:30 a.m. at Washington Square and headed to the city’s Gayborhood section.
At one point, the anti-Israel crowd screamed, “PPP, KKK, IOF they are all the same!” while cops corralled them on one side of the junction and the pride marchers looked on with perplexed and dampened expressions, according to another video posted to X at 12:20 p.m.
