San Francisco's Pride celebration has taken on new meaning for many in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn abortion rights. Many feel this year is more important than ever to support the LGBTQ+ community.

After the pandemic forced a two-year break, a couple from the Sacramento area was eager to participate and welcome it back."Support the gay community," said Efren Cazarez. "They've been beat up recently all over the rest of the country. I come to support them, absolutely. And have some fun."

It’s just a great place to be.""I love seeing those who come in a costume," said Tiffany Young. "I call it Halloween in the summer because you never know what you’ll see. It’s never a dull moment. I’ve always loved the festival.
