SV Pride week activities include a festival and a parade in downtown San Jose this weekend.
At the flag-raising ceremony for SV Pride Week on Tuesday, San Jose City Councilmember Pam Foley noted that San Jose and Silicon Valley were fortunate to be able to raise the flags and celebrate its LGBTQ community twice a year — during the traditional Pride Month in June and again in August. The sentiment was echoed by other speakers including Mayor Matt Mahan and Councilmember Omar Torres.
