SF Pride 2019
June 6, 2019June is Pride Month and Trinity is proud to provide an environment of equality and respect for all people at our wonderful homes across The City. San Francisco’s Civic Center was the setting for many major moments of the Gay Rights Movement including speeches and rallies held by Harvey Milk. More recently, the area served as the center point of same-sex marriage activism and many of the first same-sex couples in California were married at the Civic Center. A list of the best LGBTQ+ philanthropies for social support, healthcare, legal services, and advocacy can be accessed from the linked webpage.
