#When is the gay pride parade in san francisco 2021 plus#
Here are some of the best US pride celebrations in 2021, plus hotels for each.ĭiscover the white, red, rosé, and rainbow-hued wines of gay-popular Sonoma County, an hours' drive north of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. All hotels have solid COVID-19 policies and protocols in place for extra peace of mind.Hotels were chosen to accommodate a wide variety of interests and budgets, but all hotels are exceptionally LGBTQ friendly and highly recommended by LGBTQ locals, with many operated by openly gay staff and/or proud sponsors of local Pride events.For the rest, I tapped into my network of local queer experts to compile this list of diverse and welcoming LGBTQ Pride celebrations across the US.I'm familiar with each of these fabulous queer-friendly destinations as well as their LGBTQ communities and have experienced many of the Prides firsthand.
I chose some of the best US Pride celebrations, plus the best hotels for each based on the following criteria: Most importantly, we'll gather in 2021 to celebrate the many reasons to be proud while mourning those we've lost.įrom California wine country to the streets of New York, there's a US Pride celebration ready for you to join, with many launching this coming week and sashaying all the way through September. A few will be drive-through others will postpone large gatherings till later in the year. For now, we'll skip crowded and sweaty parades and parties (alas!), but in order for us to join safely together in person, many Prides have been restructured as celebratory hybrid events. While we did it mostly virtually in 2020, the trend in 2021 is to meet in person. We will always exercise our right to be visible and celebrate our magnificent diversity. We've been marching for half a century in the face of arrest, harassment and worse, through nearly four decades of an epidemic that devastated yet ultimately galvanized our community, and now through a global pandemic.
Pride's back! In truth Pride never went away.
