A Lafayette attorney and longtime Democratic Party member is asking the president of San Francisco Pride's board of directors to step down after remarks he alleges she made as he was being suspended from the Contra Costa County Democratic Party Central Committee they both serve on.
In a letter to SF Pride's board of directors dated June 24, attorney Jason Bezis, a straight ally, alleged that Carolyn Wysinger, who serves as board president for the San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration Committee, "made extremely bigoted and slanderous comments" during an April 15, 2021 closed-door session of the body that governs Contra Costa County's Democratic Party.
