Several corporate sponsors have pulled out of San Francisco’s 2025 Pride Celebration over what the parade’s executive director suspects is due to the country’s changing political climate under the Trump administration. 

San Francisco Pride’s street fair is scheduled for June 28-29, with the famed Pride Parade scheduled for 10 a.m. on the second day. Founded in 1970 as the Gay Freedom Day Parade, the event has grown to become one of the largest and most renowned LGBTQ+ celebrations in the world, attracting up to 1 million visitors each year.

Yay! No cops or corporations at pride. Only kink, and riots!
