That's Juan Davila of the San Francisco Bay Times leaping off last year's Pink Triangle during the installation! He was one of many who helped with that effort. Volunteers are needed for this year's installation on Friday and Saturday. https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/festivals/article/pride-san-francisco-bay-area-22286279.php?fbclid=IwY2xjawSOjrBleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFUcjhOTGo0QTJ3UDk4NGZ6c3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHpeNhlJdVxs_mUNeEBBW4oDWgZWwSYkwiEUg7gGJl6W6e9ethvJsGzlaoyjm_aem_o7qdwU_LBKTA2BKppUE1tg&utm_campaign=mrf-facebook-SFChronicle&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&mrfcid=202606046a2185c165475341596d40e5

This week's Expo presented by the Golden Gate Business Association was packed with LGBTQ+ business owners and allies. If you are not already a GGBA member, or are a former member, consider joining this influential organization that was the first LGBTQ+ chamber of commerce and is still going strong and continuously evolving to match today's challenging business needs. Congratulations to Aaron Boot-Haury and the GGBA Board on the major glow-up!

Support for gay marriage in the U.S. has declined, to 65% from a high of 71% four years ago, according to a recent poll from Gallup.

Republicans are responsible for much of this gravitational pull. Democratic support remains unchanged at 87%.

Community Candlelight Vigil
Friday, June 5, 2026 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM PT

As part of Seven Day in June: Health is Primary, we’re participating in a candlelight vigil to lift up the concerns related to HIV, LGBTQ+, and public health funding cuts that will affect all in our communities in the coming years. Join MCC San Francisco as we recognize the leadership that San Francisco has played in building up successful models of HIV prevention and care, call to protect the legacy of these investments, honor the memory of those we have lost to HIV and AIDS, and celebrate the many long-term HIV survivors and other leaders that push our movement forward.
