Celebrate Pride with Us! 🌈

Join the City of San Fernando as we honor the resilience, love, and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community during this year's Pride celebration.

This year, we pay special tribute to the life and legacy of Matthew Shepard, whose tragic death in 1998 sparked a nationwide movement against hate and discrimination. In remembering Matthew, we reaffirm our city’s commitment to justice, inclusion, and the right of every individual to live openly, authentically, and safely.

Let this ceremony be a space for unity, reflection, and hope—as we come together to uplift one another and work toward a more compassionate future for all.

📍 Location: City Hall- 117 Macneil St.
📅 Date: Saturday, June 7
🕒 Time: 10:30 AM

All are welcome. Let's stand together in love and solidarity. 💜🏳️🌈

Research suggests that HIV negative MSMs have a 20 times higher likelihood of being diagnosed with a**l cancer. A**l cancer is primarily caused by the same strains of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) responsible for cervical cancer in women. Approximately 65% of HIV negative MSMs and 95% of HIV-positive MSMs carry a**l HPV. HPV transmission occurs through s*xual skin-to-skin contact, with condom use only partially reducing the risk.

Factors that contribute to an increased risk of a**l cancer include having multiple s*x partners, alcohol, drug, and to***co use. Vaccination against HPV infection is considered the most effective form of prevention for a**l cancer.

Memorial Day originated to pay tribute to those who perished in the Civil War but has evolved into a day to commemorate all American veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Today is Memorial Day – a time to recall, to contemplate, and to safeguard the flame of liberty that shines endlessly.
