San Diego Gay and Lesbian News

The Chicago Boystown area is reeling after the unexpected death of popular drag performer Jherrion Bates, 25, who died in the hospital after being a victim of a crash when another car hit him head-on last Thursday morning. 

Just two days before the most successful San Diego Pride to date, a man reportedly called organizers threatening to "kill all the gays and the children” at the event. 

President Trump had some choice words for the four freshmen Democratic congresswomen on Wednesday and ultimately incited his audience to chant "send her back" at a rally in Greenville, N.C.

Technology is a useful thing and as evidenced in a recent aging app it's being used for much more than work. Pop culture has embraced the visage-aging software called FaceApp in which you can take a selfie and through the magic of developers see what you look like 50 years from now.

San Diego just experienced record-breaking crowds at the Pride festival and now another mass of people are expected to infiltrate the city at the Convention Center for San Diego Comic-Con International (SDCC). 

This time downtown and the Gas Lamp Quarter will get the brunt of the crowds although Hillcrest always has a few things going on during the massive pop culture event. 

Those loud jets you heard in the skies on Saturday were actually United States LGBT Pride history in the making.

A four-ship F-15 flyover from Cal Guard's Fresno 144th Fighter Wing shook windows and eardrums all across Hillcrest and its surrounding areas in a salute to transgender military service members. 

San Diego didn't disappoint its residents and visitors this weekend for the 46th annual San Diego Pride festival. The weather cooperated and brought plenty of sunshine and blue skies throughout the weekend.

Another record-breaking Pride has come and gone. Hundreds of thousands filled the streets of Hillcrest for the parade, but there was one thing missing: protesters. 

There is a special policed section on the parade route which is designated for protest groups, but this year that space only contained San Diego's finest standing vigilant. 

The LGBT homeless youth have a place to go in Hillcrest thanks to the Interfaith Shelter Network (ISN). This first-ever LGBT shelter which contains 12 beds opened two weeks ago and according to CBS 8, already has 10 guests. 

Nomi d'shire might be a little exhausted already in 2019, but she wouldn't have it any other way. The drag queen just moved back to San Diego and already she's earned the title Miss Gay Pride 2019.
