[applause] as your drag laureate i'm dedicated to continuing my life's mission to uplift my fellow members of the lbgtq+ community spread joy throughout and maintain a deeper knowing to the rich legacy of the lbgtq+ trail blazers that made it possible for all of this to be happening. i will continue to celebrate and elevate the art of drag. that is capitol a. r. t. through my night club oasis. oasis art, as well as my partnership with the city of san francisco. san francisco film commission to create access and resources for my community. i'm excited work with the city and the drag community to create a drag festival. yes. >> we are anything to work on creating one. would you love to see your

supervisors in a drag contest? [laughter] and the mayor, too. give each a drag parent. would you pay for that? i want this festival to be fabulous entertainment. include the drag story hour, bring all of it together and have an educational component to it. it is very important. i would also like to work with the city and find some of our empty retail space and create opportunity for lbgtq+ as well as drug entrepreneurs to have an opportunity to bring back some brick and morltar with sparkle. right? and fabulousness. and make it not only viable for the community but sense of excitement for tourism to come, see your drag stores. right?

we are like nike. we are just doing it. not talking about t. not debating or having conversation. we are investing nenldzing transhomelessness. investing in aids planning and investing in doing all the work necessary to support, uplift and advance this community. people are talk bug not only we v. 12 million dollars to build a new lbgtq+ museum, supervisor mandelman, supervisor scott wiener pitch in the 5.5 million dollars to make the dream a reality. [applause]. when someone says, something about san francisco you ask them. what are they doing to mo promote and change the world for the lbgtq+ communities like san francisco. there is no comparison. this month. during pride month this it is a celebration. yes , there are problems and

challenges. yes there are always things that we need to fight for. but it is time after a global pandemic. after all the issues we have been facing. it is time to start to feel good again temperature time to celebrate hour we have come. time to celebrate the work and investment and everything this we are doing in san francisco differently than we did before. it does not mean we don't fight tomorrow. but today we celebrate. we have joy, love in hearts. we have preeshz, the next generation, they are watching san francisco. they know this is the accomplice to come to get help, hope and spchlt that's what pride represents for everyone around world. as we are out there in the parade, upon events, brunches and the other things and of course, looking fabulous in the process, let us remember what and be grateful for the opportunity to be a part of what

san francisco represents because we are very fortunate to do all the great work we are doing here and to put and shine a spotlight on what we are doing so others know what is possible and helps to fight against the bigotry and hate and the things that try to take us down. we are san francisco. we are like nike, we just do it. thank you. with that i want to introduce to say a few words lieutenant governor. [applause]. thank you, madam mayor. i like to start by recognizing the world's first drag laureate, darcy, congratulations! [applause] thank you for your leadership and your absolutely beautiful words. i think we can all agree there is no more no greater fabulous leader for the mayor for the

city of san francisco than our mayor, london breed. thank you. madam mayor for your fabulousness and leadership every single day. so, i think some of you know i made san francisco my home for more than 20 years. i represent the entire state of california. and across our state this month there will be parades. celebrations, there will be incredible out pourings of culture and leadership uplifting the lbgtq+ community of the state of california. but i think we can agree that there is no place in the state no place in the country. no place in the world that did it earlier or does it better in celebrating pride month. than san francisco, california. and so, as we are out there celebrating and marching

together. let us not forget what we know which is every generation must fight the fight again special we know in the country there are elements to our trying to roll back the rights of californians we will fight back and keep our rights for you our people in the state. i would like to recognize scott wiener in sacramento. incredible and every level. but most importantly, in leading the fight to put on the ballot again once and for all the changing of the california constitution to enshrine the right to marry who you want. and that is coming. [applause] because of senator wiener. i'm honored to be a cosponsor of that legislation we will get it done. more than anything else, which

humility and pride and honest or myself to stands under this dome with all of you as we begin pride month t. is a tremendous honor to be part of this community which will always go forward and always lead in the state and in the world. happy pride; everyone. >> and with that the fabulous senator scott wiener. [applause]. >> thank you. thank you, lieutenant governor. so, you know i think pride feels a bit different this year. you know for a very long time, pride has become increaseingly a celebration, which is great. celebrate, parties and festive parades. everyone wanted to be a part. this. more corporations getting involved. everyone wanted to be a part of pride that is great.

the last few years we understand that we have to get back to pride roots. which is to fight for our upon community's survival. that's what pride is about. [applause]. and when we look that is happening now, we are like, target removing a lot of the pride paraphernalia or the back of the store because of bullying from right wing extremists or bush pulling an add february including a transwoman. we see corporations who have been alis to us when the pressure goes on, they fold like a cheap tent. we need to say that participating in provide is not being in a parade or having a party or putting on the rain bows it is being an alli to our community not when it is easy

but when it is hard. . when it is hard. [applause]. and even when it is dangerous. you know what? it is dangerous for us 365 days a year when you look at what is happening to our people, our lbgtq+ youth around the counts real. you are pushed to suicide. who are attacked. being told they can't go to the bathroom or play sports. you look at the two young transwomen who with drew from the state track and field championship because that had been so harassed imagine that out of the 1400 girls participating in the state track and field championships 2 were trans, that was 2, too many to the haters and the women got bullied out of competing that is happen happening in the country but in the state of california.

and means we need to renew our commitment and get back to the roots of pride we are fighting for our community's survival and fighting to make sure we thrive. they want us to go away but we are not going anywhere. we are here to stay and our kids are here to stay. [applause] so on -- on monday, we are going to have fun in sacramento. that's our lbgtq+ caucus we have our pride celebration in the capital and each get to pick each member of the caucus picks an honoree. i nominated sister roma. and -- [applause] you may have seen that caused controversy. there are some folks in the catholic church special republican colleagues not happy about honoring a sister of perpetual indulgence but it is

going to happen. we will emsends our san francisco spirit up to the capitol and proclaim to the world what are this city is about which is love and acceptance. happy pride, everyone. >> now to say a few words the president of the board for sf pride. come on up. thank you. and greetings mayor, breed. laureate and guests. i'm nguyen fam, he and his pronouns and honored address you as president of san francisco pride. of the city's largest event upon sf pride is regarded as one of the world's largest and most iconic annual celebrations of

lbgtq+ culture and heritage. what might be lesser known is that our small team of 12 volunteer board members and 5 full time paid staff works year round to ensurety success of this parade and celebration every june in the greatest city in the world. [applause] we are proudly also the few remaining pride events in the world kept absolutely free and open to the partial ensuring all who wish to share in love of sf pride can do so free of charge and you can imagine how expensive it is to put on the largest free events. donations are totally welcome. and we than our market street and our festival at civic center serve as beakons of hope to

those that see them the hope is important and necessary especially in the context of the attempts to oppress and erase our community. these are vicious. authoring bills that target our art forms, books, history and our health care. as san franciscans we ever fortunate to live, work and play in a city that largely protects and loudly celebrates our community. yet we are not a city without discord. it is not uncommon for some in our queer xunt community to be at odds with civic leaders with decisions we might disagree example with banko brown may he rest in power what we can unify around our debates must empower our movement to liberate queer people here and every where.

so today, sf pride invites you to join us as co-conspirators toward this positive liberating change. provide love to one another and ourselves and alis. because our love for ourselves and for each other is our resistance. our resistance is our liberation. and our liberation is long over due.

the transcommunity. we are under attack, our community, city and our way of living are under attack. it is especially painful for me to see this persecution aimed at trans-children, families and adults all over red states and here in other parts of california that are not liberal cities. i was one of those trans-kids in the 70s. grew up in kentucky. i did not disclose my identity because i was afraid. there are millions of those people now in red states looking at us with fear. they wonder is san francisco the place you can come and be who you are. i'm here to say we are that city. so upon given circumstances, san

francisco pride invites you to join us on pride weekend. help us draw a visible line, a line in the sand that says you are either for human rights or everyone. or for fear, hate and bigotry. there is no middle of the road. there is no moderate position on human rights.
