San Diego Pride faces calls for reforms, boycotts; impact of trans military ban


Listen Later

San Diego Pride's parade and festival kicks off in less than a month.
But this year, festivities are overshadowed by concerns about leadership and the overall vision for the organization. More than two dozen LGBTQ+ leaders have sent a letter to the board outlining issues like the lack of transparency and community engagement.
The criticism comes weeks after a coalition of Jewish organizations, along with San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, have pulled out of the festival over San Diego Pride's decision to invite singer Kehlani as a headliner.
We discuss the details and what this could mean for Pride.
Then, we hear about the firsthand impacts of the Trump administration's ban on transgender soldiers — through the story of one local sailor.
Plus, the weekly roundup of other stories from the week.
Guests:
Maura Fox, communities reporter for The San Diego Union-Tribune
Andrew Dyer, military and veterans affairs reporter, KPBS
Ashley Rusch, producer, KPBS
