After a six-year reorganization period, the San Francisco Dyke March returned for 2025 as strong as ever with an estimated 20,000 participating. The theme this year was “Dyke Solidarity, Dyke Resistance,” and both were in view on the afternoon of Saturday, June 28.
Marchers first gathered at Dolores Park before stepping off for the march at 18th and Dolores streets. Speakers at the rally included members of Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits, Imani Rupert-Gordon of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, The Curve Foundation’s Franco Stevens, Celestina Pearl from Lyon-Martin Community Health, Crystal Mason from Tree of Change, Ms. SF Leather 2025 Madam Folly, Trinh Lê from the Bay Area Lesbian Archives, and more.
The emcees for the afternoon were Alotta Boutté and Aïma the Dreamer. There were performances by Skip the Needle, Marga Gomez, Tammy Hall with Lambert Moss, Velvetta (Lite), Black Gold Sun, Doctora Xingona, the Mya Byrne Band, and others.
The primary sponsors for this year’s march were Lyon-Martin and The Curve Foundation. The organizers as of this writing and led by Interim Project Director M Rocket still need another $30,000 to reach their fundraising goal, to break even, and to set the stage for next year’s march.
