In the midst of rising anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, hostility and legislation across the nation, more than 140 San Diego-area organizations and leaders have issued a joint statement supporting Pride events.
"As leaders in our diverse communities, we stand united in condemning the growing threats against Pride events and the LGBTQ+ community at large," the statement reads."We are deeply concerned by the escalating attacks and disruptive activities perpetrated by anti-LGBTQ+ groups, including extremist factions such as the Proud Boys.
These attempts to incite fear, spread disinformation, and sow division within our society are unacceptable.""To all those spreading hate, we say this: We are not strangers to adversity," it reads."We have faced it before and we will face it again. Our LGBTQ+ community is resilient, born from the crucible of struggle, and hardened by a history of vibrant resistance and radical love. Your fear, hate, and violence cannot silence us.
