The annual raising of the Pride flags on the light posts of Market Street started late this year. While in past years — including in 2020 — flags were going up as early as the morning of June 1 as a hallmark of San Francisco's observance of Pride Month, this year they were nowhere to be seen until the morning of June 2. "They're being installed right now actually," Fred Lopez, a gay man who is the executive director of the San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration Committee, told the B.A.R.
mid-morning June 2. "The team is out on Market Street as we speak." In fact, the flags were seen along Market at Van Ness Avenue shortly after the call with Lopez.
