In-person Pride festivities are finally returning to San Francisco.
People within the LGBTQ community said this weekend is a much-needed boost, both economically and socially.D'Arcy Drollinger, owner of OASIS night club, said it seems that there are more events lined up this year, which is great for business, but at the same time, it creates some security concerns amid a recent wave of anti-LGBTQ sentiment.
"Upsetting and kind of a little nerve-wracking when you're seeing these people storming the drag queen story hours and libraries and that thing that happened in Idaho," Drollinger said."I have many friends who have dealt with it from being chased and attacked. I even had a friend who was shot in the leg."This article tagged under:
