EVENTS

For nearly half a century, San Francisco has celebrated lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) pride with parades, celebrations and festivals. Its rich counterculture history stretches from North Beach to the Castro and dates as far back as the mid-1800s. At that point, this famed West Coast city was a pioneering town that welcomed transient and adventurous new residents; since then, it has embraced its public persona to become one of the most exclusive – and inclusive – locations for celebrating LGBTQ culture. Here are six LGBTQ events in San Francisco you won’t want to miss this year.
