The Twin Peaks SF Pride pink triangle will be showing off a daytime glow this year

Organizers said this year's Pink Triangle installation at Twin Peaks in San Francisco will shine day and night with the addition of more than a mile and a half of glowing banners. It is scheduled to illuminate the triangle with an area of ​​​​acres to kick off the month of pride on Wednesday evening. The Pink Triangle Project was started in 1996 by Patrick Carney who worked with volunteers to create a pink canvas triangle during Pride Weekend. In 2020 the arts nonprofit Illuminate partnered with Carney to light the triangle with 2700 pink LEDs and in 2021 Illuminate extended the life of the triangle through June. This year bright floral ribbons will be added to give the triangle a daytime look.

We celebrate the return of the all pink triangle which now appears day and night said San Francisco Mayor London Breed who will officially light up the triangle at 8 p.m. Wednesday. Now more than ever this symbol of love and inclusion must be seen across the city and around the world. Our civil rights are under attack and we must be vigilant. The lighting of the triangle will be preceded by the procession of the pink flame.  which begins shortly before noon in Auckland City Hall. The procession will cross the bay with the help of more than 50 LGBTQ champions on their way to Twin Peaks for the lighting ceremony.

The torchbearers will ride the San Francisco Dykes on bicycles the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and the SF Cheer. Additional support will come from Rosie a pink VW bus with a rainbow interior donated by the Painted Ladies Tour Company and Pride a rainbow car donated by Cruze. Auckland Mayor Libby Schaaf will begin the torch relay. I've been involved in this growing tradition since it started three years ago Schaff said. It is moving beautiful sentimental crazy and important all rolled into one.
