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

    San Diego Pride faces calls for reforms, boycotts; impact of trans military ban
    Jun 20 2025
    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
