This June, as many travelers make plans to attend Pride Month events around the world, including New York City\u2019s giant parade<\/a> on June 30, security concerns are casting a shadow on celebrations.<\/p>\n

A travel advisory<\/a> issued last week by the State Department advises U.S. citizens overseas to \u201cexercise increased caution\u201d at Pride celebrations, events and places popular with the L.G.B.T.Q. community because of the potential for terrorist attacks or acts of violence.<\/p>\n

That advisory follows a joint public service announcement<\/a> on May 10 from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that describes an increased security threat against Pride events in the United States and elsewhere and warns that terrorist organizations or supporters may seek to target the gatherings.<\/p>\n

Neither alert mentions any specific threats or locations, nor do they advise against traveling. Here\u2019s what to know.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
