(San Francisco, June 28) - As a fascist President attempts to marginalize the non-white, the non binary, the immigrant (except South African Whites), the Constitution and what was left of our democracy, San Francisco delivered a resounding "No!"

The 2026 San Francisco Gay Pride March was huge, taking over four hours to pass. Along with events in other cities, gay rights organizations, schools, unions, and others participated. They received enthusiastic and wild applause. Many marchers interacted with the watching crowds, some giving out free "mom hugs."

Corporate participation was significantly less than in previous years. No sign of UPS, Microsoft, or United Air Lines. They were not missed. Those that were there, including Apple, Genentech, Safeway and Disney received polite applause. Politicians including Senator Padilla, Mayor Daniel Lurie, Scott Weiner also marched. And, Nancy Pelosi, as usual.

Screams of approval greeted the many gay support organizations.

The march started at the Embarcadero, ending near City Hall where booths of many organizations and assorted vendors offered rights themed merchandise.
