Upon his death in 2017, friends cleared out Baker’s apartment and shipped most of his effects to a sister in Texas, with some memorabilia sent to the GLBT Historical Society. Baker, Beswick adds, took the flag with him when he moved to New York in 1994 to execute a mile-long flag exhibit for the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. Its brief prominence in San Francisco is all the more poignant considering that 1978 was the only year that supervisor Harvey Milk marched in the parade he would be assassinated five months later. The remnant we have now, it’s about 28 ft along the hoist and 10 to 12 ft of the fly – still quite large and beautiful.” Gilbert went back to retrieve them and took this one and cut off the damaged portion. It sustained water damage and it had mildew on it. “Who knows, maybe it’ll turn up someday,” Beswick said. Measuring 60 ft by 30 ft, the two flags – one with stripes in the style of the American flag, and this one without – were later displayed and stored at a now-shuttered LGBTQ+ community center, where one was stolen.

And there were some in-person events for SF Prodie 2021, plus a small march and rally on Polk Street. But this does not acknowledge the Trans March typically held on Friday - though the Trans March has never been directly affiliated with SF Pride, and is more of its own thing.Īnd they did do a Trans March in 2021 (it was more of a resource fair), so lest we get nailed with another horrible COVID-19 variant, it’s fair to assume that Trans March will also happen. Presumably there will be a Civic Center exhibitor setup that begins on Saturday, per usual, and the Dyke March is likely on. We do notice they say Saturday and Sunday, June 25-26, 2022, which does not mention Friday.

Sure enough, a visit to confirms that “San Francisco LGBTQ+ Pride Returns In-Person! Saturday & Sunday June 25-26, 2022.” The site is currently taking submissions for Parade Contingents, Exhibitor Registration, Entertainment Submissions, and public vote for Community Grand Marshals. The Chronicle adds a statement from an SF Pride newsletter that says “We know that our communities are concerned about the spread of the omicron variant,” and “We also know that people are mourning the passing of LGBTQ+ icons like Betty White and Andre Leon Talley, losses that hit us harder than usual after two years of nonstop loss, false starts and disappointments.” Screenshot:
