Kehlani Will Headline SoSF, a New Pride Festival in San Francisco | KQED
Briefly

Kehlani is set to headline the inaugural SoSF Pride festival at San Francisco's Pier 80 on June 28, aiming to uplift the LGBTQ+ community amidst adversity. The festival will feature various artists, including Kim Petras and Tinashe. A portion of proceeds will support the Lyric Center for LGBTQQ+ Youth, which helps vulnerable young people. Organizers hope to provide a vital communal space, as corporate sponsorship for Pride events faces challenges due to current political climates affecting trans rights.
"SoSF is a party with a purpose: a portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit Lyric Center for LGBTQQ+ Youth, which provides educational, health, job and housing services to vulnerable young people."
"While celebrating might not be top of mind for many at a time when trans civil rights are under attack, the LGBTQ+ community has a long history of using the dance floor as a place to connect and gather strength in difficult moments."
