From the parade to the party: San Francisco Pride celebrations took over the Civic Center and beyond Sunday, providing a place of belonging.

"San Francisco Pride is one of the best experiences ever. The community here is just so impactful and everyone loves each other," said Fernando Cuascut, from the Bronx, NY, who was partying with his friend, ally Ashley Davis.

This year's Pride celebrations come as nearly 500 bills across the country take aim at LGBTQ+ rights."We have so much power. We have so much power as a community we just need to stick together," Cuascut said. "I think it's so important, you know, with the world and all that crap, it gets you down and coming here and being part of the community -- it's so nice," said Kennedy Knight, who was visiting from Idaho.

"I feel like it's a sign of community for everybody and an example of contradicting the hate," said Petaluma resident Hanna McCarthy.
