San Diego Pride

There is also a festival that allows those to celebrate themselves and not worry about being judged by the harsh eyes of society when looked down upon. It is called the San Diego LGBT Pride Parade and Festival. At Pride, there are several stages for entertainment that allow comedians, dancers, and musicians to come and make the festival much more entertaining. The funds generated through ticket sales, sponsorships, and beverage sales all go towards San Diego Pride’s community philanthropy. This event is as exciting as it is impactful for the community of individuals who are often treated unfairly.
