For 21 years, the SF LGBT Center has served as a beacon of hope for LGBTQ+ people.
This year, our theme is Unbreakable Pride. Together, we are unbreakable in our work to amplify queer artistry, reclaim our space through communal healing and celebration, and stand in solidarity with our sister organizations and collectives fighting anti-trans and anti-queer hate nationwide.
This Pride season, we ask you to learn more about the lifeline work our Sister Center’s on the ground are continuing to provide to our community in the face of harmful anti-trans and anti-queer legislation. Now more than ever, we need to march arm-in-arm with one another to combat the hateful noise.
Together, we are unbreakable.

Pride Fundraising Partners
We’re also excited to unveil this year’s Center Pride Fundraising Partners, who generously support us with donations from product or event fundraisers during Pride month. These partners support the Center’s work, giving LGBTQ+ community members a safe, welcoming space and access to vital resources.
As we celebrate 21 years of service to our incredible community, let’s vibe to LGBTQ+ artists, savor queer films, support local businesses, make healing art, and dance the night away together!

"By being the first artist to grace the Queer Vibes stage, I hope I have inspired hope. The Center’s focus on supporting artists is so critical because the arts are not a part of the human experience rooted in survival—they are transcendent of survival. The arts are hope in perpetuity."
