Silicon Valley LGBTQ+ community says August Pride celebration more important than ever

SAN JOSE MAY CELEBRATE Pride Month in June, but it’s not over until Silicon Valley Pride has its parade and festival in August.

In today’s political climate, Silicon Valley Pride’s event on Aug. 29 and 30 is more important than ever, advocates said. The celebration brings a sense of community and belonging to participants, which  is especially needed due to anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment and legislation.
