San Francisco Pride goes virtual due to pandemic
Every year, San Francisco Pride events bring hundreds of thousands of people to the city during the last week of June to commemorate the Stonewall Riots in New York City, which kicked-off the modern LGBTQ movement. This year was expected to be larger than ever, marking the 50th anniversary of San Francisco’s first march, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced its abrupt cancellation on April 14, 2020. Pride Board President Carolyn Wysinger abd Executive Director Fred Lopez discuss the event's transformation.
