The festival has faced funding shortfalls in recent years, citing corporate sponsor withdrawals because of backlash against diversity, equity and inclusion.

Organizers say this year’s theme is “We Won’t Stop,” reminding participants of the fights and victories behind rights and visibility for the LGBTQ+ community.

Kojo Modeste, the festival’s executive director, says the theme aims to generate momentum and action that will create lasting change.
