FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT Welcome to the 46th annual San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride Celebration and Parade! The city is excited and thrilled to have those who support the LGBTQI community come out to celebrate.

This year marks some milestones for iconic legacy organizations who have meaning for our movement. The Gene Compton’s Cafeteria riot took place fifty years ago in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district. It marked the first known incident in which the transgender community stood up against police harassment and discrimination. The riot preceded the more recognizable Stonewall Riot that occurred in 1969. Other notable organizations celebrating milestone anniversaries are Dykes on Bikes® Women’s Motorcycle Contingent and Frameline, the San Francisco International LGBTQ Film Festival, who are both celebrating forty years of service to the community. All three were born out of protest during a time in which LGBTQI people faced extreme discrimination. The fact that the latter two are still operating today and thriving would suggest the power of the community and the growing support of Americans who believe in equality for all.

San Francisco Pride is celebrating its 46th anniversary with an important theme: For Racial and Economic Justice. While the LGBTQI community has experienced incredible progress including marriage equality and greater social acceptance, the community continues to face discrimination. There are over thirty states that do not have fully-inclusive non-discrimination laws that would protect LGBTQI people. In over half the states in this country, LGBTQI people can get married, but can also be fired from their jobs because of sexual orientation and gender identity.

This year alone, over 100 bills or pieces of legislation have been proposed across the country to limit the freedom of LGBTQI people. North Carolina passed House Bill 2 (HB2) allowing businesses and people to discriminate using “religious freedom” as justification. HB2 specifically targets transgender individuals and their access to public accommodations such as restrooms. Bills like HB2 attack the most vulnerable of our communities. What’s even more hurtful is that the most vulnerable of our community will continue to be subjected to violence, hate, harm and danger because of laws like this. Within the first five months of 2016, there were at least ten reports of transgender individuals who have been murdered, most transgender women of color. It is an example of what we’re hoping to draw attention to with our theme.

For Racial and Economic Justice speaks to the systems that oppress communities of race and class, which is inclusive of LGBTQI people. The theme addresses intersectionality, a term defined in the late 1960s or early 1970s to address the overlapping of social identities and how that relates to systems of oppression, dominance and discrimination. The various identification categories of our lives such as race, age, class, ability, religion, gender and other categories interact on many levels, if not at the same time when it comes to oppression.

In this magazine, you will find articles discussing how our Grand Marshals are addressing racial and economic injustice in their work. For example, Black Lives Matter was chosen by the public because they have done an incredible job bringing attention and awareness to oppressive systems that continuously perpetuate racism against the black community, including black LGBTQI people. Janetta Johnson (2016 Community Grand Marshal) is the executive director of the Transgender Gender Variant Intersex Justice Project, an organization that fights for trans women of color who have been incarcerated, targeted because they are transgender and often penalized for minor infractions that do not generally result in prison sentences.

You will also find an excerpt from Unjust: How the Broken Criminal Justice System Fails LGBT People, a report produced by MAP (Movement Advancement Project) and the Center for American Progress.

It addresses the broken criminal justice system and how such a system perpetuates discrimination against LGBTQI people, especially people of color.

We want you to enjoy yourself and have a great time at the 2016 SF Pride Parade and Celebration, while keeping in mind this year’s sobering theme and its societal implications. It may be exciting to experience the new, modern, wealthy San Francisco but be mindful of the surrounding communities who have been displaced. The homeless community is not made up of just one person. It is made up of just about everyone, including families who lost their homes due to egregious eviction practices. Also, please be aware of the working class who still have to travel from neighboring Bay Area cities using public transportation systems like BART. This year’s theme is not intended to stir controversy, but it is meant to bring awareness so that we can all educate ourselves. We can all co-exist. It is possible.

Enjoy yourselves and be proud of all the progress we have made as Americans. Be active so that we can achieve equality for all and, while you celebrate at a world class event and in a city like San Francisco, be compassionate for those of us who are still being discriminated against and who are still fighting for equality.

We are not equal until all of us are equal.

FROM THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR June 2016 LGBT Pride

Our nation was founded on the principle of equal rights for all people, but the fulfillment of this promise has been long in coming for many Americans. Some of the most inspiring moments in our history have arisen from the various civil rights movements that have brought one group after another from the margins to the mainstream of American society.

In the movement toward equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people, a historic turning point occurred on June 28, 1969, in New York City, with the onset of the Stonewall Riots. During these riots, LGBT citizens rose up and resisted police harassment that arose out of discriminatory criminal laws that have since been declared unconstitutional. In the four decades since, civil rights for LGBT people have grown substantially, and LGBT pride celebrations have taken place around the country every June to commemorate the beginning of the Stonewall Riots.

California has been a leader in advancing the civil rights of its LGBT citizens. And while further progress is needed, it is important to recognize and celebrate the substantial gains that have been achieved.

Sincerely,

EDMUND G. BROWN JR.

GOVERNOR EDMUND G. BROWN JR. SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 95814 • (916) 445-2841

FROM THE MAYOR OF SAN FRANCISCO

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR Greetings!

On behalf of the City and County of San Francisco, it is a pleasure to welcome you to the 46th Annual San Francisco Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) Pride Parade and Celebration. 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 for all. This year’s theme of For Racial and Economic Justice 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 equality in California, and we will continue to fight until absolutely everyone is treated equally. San Francisco has been a leader in the struggle for marriage equality for over ten years, ever since 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 2016. 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

FAERIE FREEDOM VILLAGE Produced by Doug (Darwin) Mastin

Bring your intention to connect as you enter the glitter gateway to Faerie Freedom Village. This

magical sanctuary of radical queer community is also the longest-standing community stage at SF Pride. Faerie Freedom Village originated in the late 1990s from a common feeling that we had lost a sense of connection. Pride had become such a huge event that it was challenging to meet new queers and commune with friends. Faerie Freedom Village is an entirely community-built stage and experience at SF Pride. We create a space where you can revel in a spectacular, colorful, natural and non-commercial oasis that provides heart-connected sanctuary, showcasing and celebrating queer creative spirit. Some of the area’s most talented avant-garde artists, performers and shamans gather to celebrate radical self-expression and community. You will experience delicious dance tunes, live

This is exactly the kind of community magic we love to see! We are also a community of consent. Please ask before taking someone’s photo. Please ask before touching someone.

Please ask if you’re unsure whether or not you should ask. Consent is sexy, and so are you when you ask for it. Blessed be!

COMMUNITY PARTNERS The San Francisco Pride Community Partner Program is a beneficiary program that exemplifies SF Pride’s commitment to community investment. Since 1997, SF Pride has been able to grant over $2.5M to our community partners thanks to donations made at our event gates and purchases made at our beverage booths.

Community partners provide SF Pride with volunteers the weekend of the event and, in return, SF Pride awards the organizations with a grant based on our patron’s support. When you donate at the gate or purchase a beverage at one of our official beverage booths, you provide critical support to local charities, including LGBTQIA organizations and those organizations working on issues related to HIV/AIDS, cancer, homelessness and animal welfare. For nearly twenty years, SF Pride’s Community Partner Program has been a primary source of funding that serves to strengthen our communities and build a strong future for the celebration and parade.
