After the U.S. State Department issued a global travel warning for LGBTQ travelers last week, some members of the LGBTQ community are on edge, but that didn't stop them from coming out to celebrate Harvey Milk and his legacy this weekend. Pride flags waved in the wind as a band marched their way to Jane Warner Memorial Plaza. Harvey Milk Day, held on May 22 in honor of his birthday, is meant to commemorate the work of Milk and the steps he took to bring the community forward.
"There's a lot of heat right now. Queer, trans and drag queens actually are under attack. The legislation they are trying to pass in this country of all places, in America, in 2024, is mind-boggling," said Sister Roma with Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. "It's more important than ever for the Sisters and everyone to go out and lie their authentic loud and proud selves."An LGBTQ museum is in the works in San Francisco.
"Sadly, in SF we purchased a building to support transitional-age youth who are trans in SF and we can't even talk about the location because of our concerns about safety," Breed told KTVU. "We will not deviate, we will not waver from our commitment, but we will double down and celebrate the community in extraordinary ways, like the museum."Community members we spoke to say though safety is a concern for them, the time to be out and proud is now.
"It's a responsibility to come out and be fabulous," said Sister Hera with Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence told KTVU.
