Under their Pride Festival section on its website, a statement reads, “San Diego Pride does not endorse or adopt the political positions of any individual performer.” San Diego Pride will take place July 15 through July 19, kicking off with the Spirit of Stonewall Rally on Friday. It will be followed by the parade on Saturday, and the festival will take place both on Saturday and Sunday. Proceeds from ticket and beverage sales, including sponsorships and exhibitor fees, will go towards San Diego Pride’s community philanthropy, according to organizers. They have distributed more than $2.5 million to support LGBTQ+ communities around the globe. Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased online. ...read more read less
