June 26, 2025, marks a decade since the Supreme Court's decision legalizing same-sex marriage in Obergefell v. Hodges. The San Francisco Bay Times plans to celebrate this milestone with an official Pride kick-off party, commemorating not only the victory but also recent judicial threats to marriage rights. The accompanying Pride Parade will feature prominent figures from the movement, such as John Lewis and Stuart Gaffney, and will reflect on the historical context, including the 2004 Winter of Love, during which same-sex marriages were first issued in San Francisco by then-Mayor Gavin Newsom.
The ten-year commemoration of marriage equality is crucial, especially in light of recent Supreme Court decisions threatening both gender-affirming care and same-sex marriage rights.
The Bay Times Pride Parade will showcase notable leaders and allies of the marriage equality movement, reaffirming the importance of these milestones during a time of ongoing challenges.
