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

Описание: San Diego Pride's parade and festival kicks off in less than a month.

The criticism comes weeks after a coalition of Jewish organizations, along with San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, have pulled out of the festival (https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/...) over San Diego Pride's decision to invite singer Kehlani as a headliner.
