This event, planned for April 19, 2026, is intended as a peaceful celebration of opposite-sex love, in contrast to San Francisco&#8217;s long-standing annual LGBT Pride Parade, which is known for its bold and sometimes controversial displays. Stallcup&#8217;s idea follows a precedent set by a similar &#8220;Straight Pride Parade&#8221; held in Boston in 2019. Pelosi recently announced she will not seek reelection after decades in Congress, opening the seat to candidates including progressives and Democrats, while Stallcup stands out as the sole Republican candidate emphasizing a &#8220;family powered grassroots&#8221; approach and addressing city issues like homelessness.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Republican California congressional candidate Darren Stallcup, eyeing former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi&rsquo;s seat, is proposing a &ldquo;Straight Parade&rdquo; in San Francisco next year.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco is known for its support of the LGBT movement, including its dedicated district and its annual &ldquo;Pride Parade&rdquo; held every June for the last 50 years.
