The organizers of San Francisco Pride (SF Pride) shared financial worries as a result of large companies that attract financing this year.
SF Pride executing director Suzanne Ford said that the show will still continue, but organizers will have to be noticed with a smaller budget. Ford suggested that this was part of a wave of companies that distance themselves Diversity, fairness and inclusion (Dei) programs under the Trump administration.
“I am very worried. Of course there is busy from the federal government,” Ford said Local Fox branch.
“The tone has changed in this country. Companies cover all their bets, and I think people who, this is not their hard core value of their company, maybe they reconsider their investment,” Ford said.

Ford said that five companies pulled their sponsorship from SF Pride, which resulted in a loss of around $ 300,000, and told Fox News Digital: “The total budget goal is $ 2.3 million, and although we have assigned almost $ 1 million, we now have to collect an extra $ 1.3 million.
The companies that have reportedly achieved their financing are benefits that Cosmetics, Comcast, Anheuser-Busch, Alcoholic Beverage Company Diodeo and Wine Company La Crema have achieved.
La Crema, however, said Fox News Digital: “La Crema remains fully committed to the LGBTQ+ community. Although we had to write back our SF Pride activation this year, it was never the intention to get away completely. In current conversations with the organizers and it is our hope to still find a way to work at the event of this year.”
