"The Trans March is especially important this year because it is time to organize. And this is not a parade. It is a direct action, a political act to show up in support of trans people at a time where over 900 anti-trans bills are in consideration throughout the nation."

"Right now we’re being attacked, but it could be another community within the LGBTQ spectrum that could be under attack next. We definitely need to rally together. This is not the time for division. We all need to be together. We need to be a collective rainbow and really push forward for liberation for everyone. Trans folks were the ones who started all of this. We’ve always been at the forefront of the march. But we need our allies. We need the support of the community."

STORYLINE:
As Pride weekend ramps up in San Francisco, thousands gathered for the city’s annual Trans March and rally Friday.
Organizers and attendees say this year’s event comes at a critical and deeply troubling moment for transgender Americans.
The Trump administration has moved aggressively to roll back the rights of transgender people, from stripping diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) references from federal funding to bans on gender-affirming care for minors, revoking protections in women’s sports, and reinstating a transgender military ban.
All of these actions, activists state, are part of a politically driven campaign to erase trans identities from public institutions.
The effects are already reverberating.
Hospitals have paused surgeries for gender-diverse youth, and San Francisco–based health and LGBTQ organizations have sued the administration, saying these executive orders threaten their very survival.
Security is tighter this year, with SF Pride boosting measures for Sunday’s parade in response to threats that organizers say are emboldened by a federal climate of intolerance.
