2025-03-18
Arrr, matey! The San Francisco Pride crew be takin’ a hard blow to their treasure chest, as scallywag companies be hoistin’ their sails and steerin’ clear of DEI gold! ‘Tis a right jolly mess when even the parrot be thinkin’ twice ‘fore tossin’ in doubloons!
Arrr, me hearties! Gather 'round and lend me yer ears, for I bear tidings from the shores of San Francisco Pride, where the coin purse be lighter than a drunken sailor's head! The landlubbers of big corporations be retreatin', leavin' SF Pride in a bit of a pickle, aye!As the captain of this merry ship, Executive Director Suzanne Ford be shoutin' from the crow's nest that the show shall sail on! But alas, with a budget smaller than a pirate’s treasure map, they be needin' to scrape the barnacles off the hull to keep afloat. Ford suspects this be due to a storm brewed by those scallywags in the federal government, makin' businesses question their loyalty to the flag of diversity!
Aye, five corporations dropped anchor and sailed away, takin' with ’em a hefty $300,000! But worry not, for the Pride be a grand celebration, drawin’ a million souls from the seven seas for a theme of "Queer Joy is Resistance." The ships may be rickety, but the spirit remains unbroken!
Even La Crema, the wine merchants, be sayin' they still hoist the flag for the LGBTQ+ crew, despite lowerin' their sails for this year’s festivities. So, raise a tankard, me mateys! With a bit of luck and a fair wind, the Pride shall go on, like a true pirate’s tale! Arrr!
