The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is casting a shadow on this weekend’s Pride events. What was supposed to be a celebration in San Francisco, may now be more of a demonstration.
While the ruling may leave many anxious, it isn’t slowing the celebrations in Dolores Park. Instead, organizers of the Trans March say they're using it as a reminder of the reason Pride started.
“It really brings us back to our roots with Pride which started as a riot, which I think it can feel like a celebration and it is but I do think it is really supposed to be this thing that changes the way we see the world,” said Niko Storman, Trans March organizer. In a statement, SF Pride organizers made it clear where they stand, writing in part, "This ruling means that gender-affirming care could be in jeopardy and gay marriage could face an uncertain future. We cannot allow this ruling to set a precedent that will thrust us back into the dark ages or shove us back into the closet.”
SFPD says they have not received any credible threats for this weekend. SF Pride said they are channeling their anger into action and expect to release more information throughout Pride weekend on what that will look like.
