    Happy Pride Month!

    By Rafael Mandelman, President, San Francisco Board of Supervisors–

    On June 6, 2025, we raised the Pride flag alongside LGBTQ+ community members and leaders across San Francisco and California. While the federal government tries to erase the legacy of San Francisco’s own Harvey Milk, let me be clear: no act of political trolling can erase what Harvey stood for or what this city stands for.

    San Francisco will always be a place where LGBTQ+ people are seen, celebrated, and safe. We’ve faced bullies before, and we’re not going anywhere.

    This year, more than ever, it is important to show pride in our ourselves, pride in our communities, and pride in our city. Join me and the District 8 office in the 2025 Pride Parade! Last year we had an incredible turn-out and this year promises to be even better. Pets, kids, adults young and old are all welcome to join our contingent!
