Life on Earth Art Marches in the Santa Rosa Pride Parade
Gay pride came to Sonoma County this week more vocal than ever, with the largest Pride parade and festival on the North Coast held Saturday in Santa Rosa — even as celebrations in many parts of the country were held against a backdrop of growing anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment.
The voices that are spearheading anti-trans and anti-gay bills in state legislatures across the nation don’t have much of a platform on the North Coast. Still, local LGBTQ+ advocates and their supporters say it’s imperative to resist.
