Video Mayor Lurie Booed Out of Dolores Park as SF Trans March Kicks Off Pride Weekend

The Trans March in San Francisco kicked off Pride Weekend with over 10,000 participants, who booed Mayor Daniel Lurie as he attempted to join the event. Attendees shouted messages like “You are not wanted here” and demanded that Lurie take real action for the trans community. The march commemorated the historic Compton’s Cafeteria riot, a pivotal moment in trans activism, and featured an all-queer marching band alongside signs advocating for trans visibility. Later that night, the Mission District hosted a lively queer Latinx dance party, emphasizing political solidarity with marginalized groups. Many marchers viewed the event as a lifeline, highlighting the need for community support amid ongoing national challenges.

Lucas S. remarked on the non-political nature of their existence, while Jean Vila stressed the importance of community resilience. James Irving, a trans Oakland resident, encapsulated the spirit of the event by noting the authenticity exhibited by attendees. The event underscored the necessity of collective action in the fight for trans rights.
