2020 San Francisco Pride “Will Look Very Different”

San Francisco Pride is still somehow officially scheduled for June 27-28, but the details are very much up in the air.

Here are the latest updates from Executive Director of San Francisco Pride Organization, Fred Lopez

“The coronavirus has shifted everyone’s way of life drastically. Through weeks of social isolation, the Bay Area has been working hard to stand out from all the worrying statistics. We’re doing an excellent job of looking out for one another, listening to medical experts, and most of all, staying home if possible.”

“But even after the crisis passes, a sense of normality will likely elude us for some time. It is apparent that SF Pride will look very different from the two-day celebration that we initially envisioned, and we continue to work closely with our partners at City Hall to evaluate all available options. We know that many people want to see a commemoration of Pride50, and we also hold the safety and wellbeing of our LGBTQ+ communities at the highest priority. The global Pride network is responding in unique and creative ways to the challenge of physical distancing, and SF Pride plans to be a part of those efforts while developing some new plans of our own.”
