San Francisco stands as the LGBTQ capital of the world and June was celebrated as Pride Month, a testament to the city’s culture of inclusivity. From trailblazers like Harvey Milk to topics like AIDS and gay marriage, LGBTQ influence shapes San Francisco’s history and present, celebrated everywhere from local icons to festivals, and bars. In its 54th year, San Francisco’s Pride celebration, themed “Beacon of Love,” brings alive a message of love and acceptance with the world. Within its vibrant 49 square miles, everyone is invited to revel in the spirit of Pride. As the city decks itself out in multi-coloured hues, immerse yourself in a celebration of love, equality, and self-expression. Here are some glimpses from the events that included Drag Me Downtown, San Francisco’s Pride Parade, Pink Triangle and more.
