Spectators watch from balconies along the route of the Gay Pride Parade, Saturday, June 8, 2019, in Boston. (Elise Amendola/AP) When Jo Trigilio received a letter from Boston Pride alleging her organization was infringing on Boston Pride s name, she says she was, shocked. We wanted to engage in dialog with Boston Pride s board. But then this happened. Trigilio founded Pride for the People, formerly Boston Pride 4 the People, with other community members back in June. The group changed its name after receiving a cease and desist letter from Boston Pride. The letter, addressed to Trigilio, Henry Paquin, Casey Dooley and Valerie Bee alleges inappropriate use of the Boston Pride name.
