The InterPride conference was originally started in San Diego by local Pride leaders."Right now, in U.S. history it's actually really terrifying to be a queer person depending in where you live and even here in San Diego. The issues that we are facing are different,” said San Diego Pride Executive Director Fenando Lopez.

Our LGBTQ centers, there are so many events happening all through the city these five days. Really a testament for the LGBTQ art and advocacy,” Lopez said.
