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.

Dee Snider's Controversial Tweet Leads to SF Pride Performance Cancellation.

Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider responds to backlash after SF Pride Parade distances themselves from him for positively responding to a tweet by Paul Stanley about gender-affirming care on minors. Snider, a longtime LGBTQIA+ ally, clarifies his stance on supporting the community's right to choose their gender identity while expressing his belief that young children are not mentally developed enough to make such decisions. SF Pride Parade and Snider have mutually agreed to part ways, but the organization emphasizes the importance of educating allies to avoid promoting transphobia.
