San Francisco Pride 2023: Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion

Hundreds of thousands of people attended the annual SF Pride Parade, which had an extra emphasis on protest this year amid efforts to restrict LGBTQ rights nationwide. More than 500 bills nationwide seek to restrict LGBTQ rights, with book bannings and physical and verbal attacks reported across the country. Attending Pride was itself an act of resistance this year, organizers said, and many parade participants and spectators emphasized activism as the event returned to its angry roots.
