For the first time in decades, thousands upon thousands of people will not march down Market Street this year to celebrate San Francisco Pride because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The colorful celebration of LGBTQ experiences, which has been held nearly every year since its humble beginnings in 1970, is officially canceled, Pride organizers announced Tuesday.
Organizers had hoped to postpone the parade until later this year, but decided to cancel the event as the coronavirus raged on, with nearly 1,000 confirmed cases in San Francisco so far.

When are they going to cancel the other deadly sins?
Must. Not. Laugh. Out. Loud.
wouldn’t touch that with a 10 foot pole.
Well to be fair, COVID-19 requires 6 feet of social distance, but AIDS only requires about 6 inches.
Thanks. I only wish I had been in on my joke.
My folks were at a convention in San Francisco in 1970 or so and innocently on Castro during one of the first of these
They were stunned
Not so much offended....it was San Francisco
Dad said it was like east end of the Quarter but more of it
They loved my dad....he was big and strong
Mom said they would stop and just oogle and squeal ...and fake swoon
He was so embarrassed
Uusally it was mom..miss Mississippi 1952 who got the cat calls
I like the city but man it’s insufferable now
At least Beats and Hippies and early QueerNation had a sense of humor
“Raged on”
1,000 cases.
15 deaths.
Population 800,000
Homofacists still blame Reagan for AIDS deaths that were caused by their own behavior.
It might have been officially cancelled, but there will be ass-chaps and transvestite nuns walking down the street, defying the order.
It’s just who they are.

too late. Pelosi already invited everyone
That’s a shame.
Let’s see...
LGBT pride marches.... cancelled.
4/20 marijuana smoke-ins... cancelled.
Abortion clinics... closed in some states.
“Pandemic” ain’t all bad news, is it?
San Francisco. Isn’t that Nancy Pelosi’s CD? Wasn’t that “her” China town that she visited to show us how safe it was to visit when the first covid-19 warnings came out?
More silver linings.
“officially canceled.”
Best news ever. Makes the whole shut down hassle worthwhile. I am wondering it God is using the Covid19 threat to shut down numerous sources of sins that offend Him. Shutting down the SF parade is huge will improve things for that wonderful city.
I’d rather they have the celebration and a devastating hail storm coincides with it.
Pride in wot? Buggering?
Let‘ s call these “pride” celebrations what they are: protests. And what do they have to protest in Scat Francisco in this year anyway? The fags got everything they asked for. Oh, wait. Christian churches still exist.
