This Sunday, June 25, San Francisco celebrated its 53rd annual Pride parade, one of the most important events in the country's celebrations, which raises awareness and fights for the rights of the LGBTIQ+ community, which was attended by an estimated 250,000 people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, residents and national and foreign visitors of all ages joined in the colorful celebration, in which flags, floats, necklaces, and fun costumes were the perfect addition.<\/span><\/p>\n

The massive event was attended by San Francisco Mayor London Breed and former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike other places, attendees assured that they felt safe and supported to be able to demonstrate and be able to be what in other places can cost them attacks and attempts on their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was stated by some attendees to various media outlets.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the parade, people stayed in the city centre to attend concerts, enjoy food and the various activities that took place around the celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Organizers of the event said the celebration cost $3.3 million to keep free, so the work of volunteers to obtain donations was crucial. However, events like this one that celebrate diversity are necessary for the community.<\/span><\/p>\n

"We're out, folks, far and wide to really not just celebrate Pride, but celebrate all the great things. The San Francisco things. People have tried again and again and again to tear our city down, but for us who are here, we know what we stand for, we know what our values are," Mayor London Breed said in a brief speech during the parade on Market Street.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dressed in a colorful outfit and carrying a rainbow flag, she recalled that while in states like Texas, Florida or Tennessee members of any age in the LGBTQ+ community are attacked, San Francisco has achieved milestones in protecting their rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHere in San Francisco, we show love, joy and pride\u2026 We know, this is an incredible city of inclusion, acceptance and hope for all the things that people look to around the world and wish they had,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n
