A decade ago, 49 beautiful souls were stolen, more than 50 others injured and countless traumatized in the horrific hate-fueled attack at Pulse Nightclub.
Today, we remember those we lost, honor the courage of the survivors and hold their loved ones and the entire LGBTQ+ community in our hearts.
Amid ongoing attacks on the LGBTQ community, San Francisco leaders and residents celebrated the 31st annual Pink Triangle installation to kick off Pride Month.
“The federal government is targeting trans healthcare, gutting HIV and AIDS funding and turning its back on our communities,” Mayor Daniel Lurie said. “San Francisco is sending a different message. We will not be silent.”
San Francisco is a beacon of LGBTQ+ freedom, joy, and resilience. This Pride Month, we honor everyone who fought to make this city a place where you can live openly and without fear. And at a time of fiscal uncertainty, my administration is continuing critical support for LGBTQ+ residents, so that every person in San Francisco is safe.
Happy Pride, San Francisco!
Happy Pride, California! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
This month is a celebration of progress and joy for the LGBTQ community. It’s a moment to stand together in defiance against hatred and bigotry.
California proudly fights for everyone’s right to love and live freely.
Today, we honor Harvey Milk, who fiercely fought against injustice and who reminds us that "hope will never be silent."
California stands with the LGBTQ community and all who face hate and inequality. We will never back away from the fight for freedom and acceptance for all.
