from the president Welcome to the 2012 San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Celebration! This year marks the 42nd anniversary of our Celebration and Parade and the largest gathering of LGBT people in the nation. This year we are celebrating “Global Equality” as our theme, and we’ve been working hard all year long to embody this ideal. The idea behind this year’s theme came from Bishop Christopher Senyonjo of Uganda and Rev. Canon Albert Ogle of San Diego. The Bishop and Rev. Ogle of the St. Paul’s Foundation for International Reconciliation work to build progressive partnerships for LGBT human rights defenders from countries where the criminalization of homosexuality impedes the provision of HIV services. Bishop Senyonjo was visiting California in the fall to raise awareness of the plight of LGBT people in Uganda, along with 76 other countries, when he met with Pride leadership and suggested the theme. This year we are honoring Bishop Senyonjo as our very first Global Grand Marshal to celebrate his progressive and brave work. Even before the theme was chosen, SF Pride was helping support international humanitarian work. This time last year, SF Pride joined forces with the Homeless Children’s Network (HCN) to sponsor a trip to Kilimanjaro National Park in Tanzania as a part of an innovative campaign called Climb for Consciousness. For many years, Homeless Children’s Network has been providing comprehensive mental health services, education, aftercare, and family support services for homeless children and youth, including LGBTQQ children from almost every community here in the city of San Francisco. This trip to Tanzania, which included the HCN’s Executive Director climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, was an attempt to engage the world’s attention toward the important work that they do. Educating the world about LGBT rights is fundamental to the very mission of San Francisco Pride and the work that we do. San Francisco Pride is proud that our members hail from all over the globe and that we’ll be welcoming visitors from around the world this June. No matter the theme, every year our Celebration and Parade is about people. We are a global family and we must stand up together for LGBT rights everywhere. Our movement is charging full speed ahead, and in this moment it is important to stop and celebrate all the mountains we have climbed together. It’s time to lift up our voices and celebrate who we are today, our history, and our culture. My hope this June is that our celebration and our declaration of human equality is heard around the world. I wish you a Happy Pride and a wonderful Celebration and Parade!

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR June 1, 2012
LGBT Pride Welcome and best wishes to those gathered for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Celebrations throughout California this summer. This year’s ruling by a Federal Court of Appeals that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional moves us one step closer to a day when all Californians will have the right to marry the person they love. Although there is still much work to be done, the LGBT community and its allies have much to celebrate. Pride brings together the LGBT community and allies in the spirit of solidarity and demonstrates to the world that the rich diversity of the Golden State is the source of our greatest strengths. LGBT Pride also highlights the significant leadership role that the LGBT community has taken in the struggle for the full equality of every person in our society. I commend your significant efforts in this regard and offer my continued support. Sincerely,
EDMUND G. BROWN JR.
GOVERNOR EDMUND G. BROWN JR. SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 95814 • (916) 445-2841 8 • pocketpride 2012
GREETINGS FROM THE MAYOR OF SAN FRANCISCO On behalf of the City and County of San Francisco, it is a pleasure to welcome you to the 42nd Annual San Francisco Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) Pride Parade and Celebration on June 23-24, 2012. I am proud to be the Mayor of a city that has a strong history of being at the forefront of extending civil rights to all citizens. San Francisco is a place that takes pride in its diverse communities and values equality and justice for all. This year’s theme, “Global Equality,” greatly reflects our continued hope and tireless efforts towards the long arc of the moral universe bending towards justice. We have faced a number of challenges toward achieving full marriage equality in California, but earlier this year, we celebrated the decision by the Ninth Circuit Court affirming that there is nothing in the Constitution that allows discrimination. We will continue to fight until everyone is treated equally, and San Francisco remains as deeply committed to the fight for marriage equality today as we did eight years ago when then Mayor Gavin Newsom started one of the most important civil rights issues of our generation to ensure equality for all. To the many members of the LGBT community, their families, friends, colleagues and visitors from around the world, I wish you all a great Pride 2012. May you enjoy this wonderful, exciting, and joyous celebration of acceptance and inclusion today and in your hearts forever! With warmest regards,
Edwin M. Lee Mayor 1 DR. CARLTON B. GOODLETT PLACE, ROOM 200 SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA 94102-4681 TELEPHONE: (415) 554-6141 10 • pocketpride 2012

grand marshal
The ACLU of Northern California has been working to protect and expand equal rights for LGBT people for decades. The ACLU-NC stepped in when police were still raiding gay bars in the Bay Area. We fought the Briggs Initiative, a measure to ban gay people from teaching in California public schools. And we fought discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS from the early days of the epidemic. In recent years the ACLU-NC helped Rochelle Hamilton take on her school district in Vallejo after teachers and school staff harassed her because she is an out lesbian. We passed Seth’s Law to help protect California students from anti-LGBT bullying. And we challenged Prop 8 in state court. The ultimate goal of our LGBT rights work is a California free of discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. This means a state where LGBT people can live openly and with dignity, where their identities, relationships and families are respected, and where there is fair treatment on the job, in schools, housing, public places, and in government programs. The ACLU-NC is incredibly proud and honored to be the Community Organization Grand Marshal for SF Pride 2012
