Your guide to Pride 2025: S.F. and Bay Area parades and festivities

I'm a drag queen in NYC whose bookings for Pride Month have plummeted this year. I'm trying to work smarter, not harder.

Brita Filter, 39, is a household name in drag entertainment. Her popularity went mainstream when she appeared on season 12 of "RuPaul's Drag Race," and she's made appearances on "Saturday Night Live," "Broad City," and "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah." I first heard of Brita in 2023 when my then-employer, PayPal, was trying to book her for a Pride happy hour near our NYC office. But Google had already booked her for the same coveted time slot: post-work drinks the Thursday before New York City Pride — what Brita says was usually her busiest time of year. This year, she says her corporate bookings are down by about 60% compared to last year. Another drag entertainer Business Insider spoke to, Holly Box-Springs, said the few June Pride bookings that have come through for her have been last-minute. Corporate interest in Pride is softening elsewhere; around 25% of corporate donors for NYC's Pride parade (taking place Sunday, June 29) have reportedly canceled or scaled back their support, citing economic uncertainty and fear of retribution from the Trump administration. We asked Brita about how this shift in interest is affecting her career. These are her words, edited for length and clarity. 'I've never had this much downtime in June' I started doing drag over a decade ago — around the same time as Holly Box-Springs, actually. And I've seen the highs and lows. This year feels especially slow. I've never had this much downtime in June since I started. All year long, at least twice a month, I fly all over the US to perform — Alabama, Boston, Seattle, Denver, Detroit, Atlanta, Hawaii. Usually I'd fly out on a Thursday, do a show on a Friday or Saturday, and fly back by Sunday for my regular set at a bar in New York City. But during Pride, drag queens are like Santa Claus during Christmas — everyone wants to book them at the same time. A typical week leading up to New York City Pride used to be nonstop for me. In 2019, during World Pride, I worked 43 days in a row — no breaks. I was hired by big companies. Some days, I had multiple gigs, back to back. I kept count because it was the year I filmed "RuPaul's Drag Race." In one month alone, I made enough money to buy a brand new Toyota Prius. This year? I only have eight gigs total for the month. It's a complete 180. I used to have a manager, assistant, and publicist, but I've been doing it on my own for the past two years. I don't have any corporate bookings at all this year. I'm just working a regular bar shift on the 29th — the day of the Pride parade — at Hardware Bar in Hell's Kitchen, where I perform weekly year-round. This week, I hosted a big activation event in Union Square for National HIV Testing Day. The community events — the more politically-focused or pro-LGBTQ charity events — are still happening, but the corporate big-ticket gigs just aren't there. 'We'll do anything for a comma' When I was booked solid during World Pride in previous years, I'd take as many gigs as humanly possible. If that meant waking up at 6 a.m. and being in drag until 4 a.m. the next day, I did it. We all did. Sleep, skincare, physical exhaustion — it didn't matter as long as the check had a comma in it. We used to say, "We'll do anything for a comma." You just pushed through because that kind of money didn't come year-round. July was for recovery. This year, I'm not taking July off. I might have to work straight through the month. I'll pick up more shows and cover for people who are out of town. Moneywise, I'll have to figure things out; I'm not sure how. I'm grateful. Because of my situation [being on TV], my rates are higher. I'm given more opportunities and at times bigger checks. I'm working smarter, not harder. About 50% of my income is from influencer partnerships and content creation for private companies that pay me to spread political messaging. But I'm spending money as soon as it comes in. For every gig, I have to talk to designers, get a new dress, a new wig, take new photos, do new press. Almost everything I make has to go back into the craft because it's all about the look. My entire job is the look. Or I'm spending money on getting 10 dancers, a rehearsal room, a choreographer, costumes — I'm like my own little Broadway show, except I'm the producer, the artistic director, and the star. 'Corporate interest has changed' A few years ago, Pride was global. You could feel it. People flew in from all over the world. This year's World Pride in D.C. earlier this month didn't feel global at all. It was mostly Americans. I barely met anyone from outside the country. I think a lot of folks are hesitant to come to the US right now. Things have shifted. Budgets are different. Corporate interest has changed. But the work that supports the community directly, such as Pride galas — that's still going. That's what's always mattered most to me anyway.

PRIDE Abroad: Global Destinations Embracing LGBTQ+ Travelers

More (Photo by Miguel SCHINCARIOL / AFP) (Photo by MIGUEL SCHINCARIOL/AFP via Getty Images) The first PRIDE celebrations were held in June 1970, marking the first anniversary of the Stonewall uprising. Over time, the protests and marches for resistance and acceptance evolved into massive lively festivals that represented progress while continuing to strive for equality. Today, across America, the month of June is filled with members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies celebrating equal love and acceptance. However, under the current political climate and social hostilities, the light around PRIDE celebrations in certain areas has been dimmed. Government regulations have impacted funding for affiliated organizations, affecting the scale and resources of celebrations and heightening safety concerns surrounding large gatherings. Since January 2025, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has tracked nearly 600 anti-LGBTQ state legislative bills across the United States targeting transgender youth, restricting access to affirming services and limiting public expression of LGBTQ+ identities. As stateside PRIDE events face growing uncertainty, many in the community are looking beyond domestic borders. Safety concerns, especially for transgender individuals and other marginalized identities have made some feel less comfortable participating in home based events. In response, international PRIDE celebrations have become more than just travel opportunities, they're affirming escapes. LGBTQ+ travelers account for over $218 billion in global travel spending, with 80% choosing destinations that are openly inclusive, supportive of queer rights and LGBTQ+-led businesses . According to an Expedia survey of 1,000 queer travelers, 54% plan to attend a PRIDE event this year. Seventy-six percent plan to travel outside of their hometown for the occasion, with 43% attending with friends and 10% going solo or bringing a parent. PRIDE is currently celebrated in at least 101 countries, with Google Trends reporting Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Spain and France as some of the top ten destinations where individuals searched for PRIDE celebrations. PRIDE celebrations in other countries are increasingly sought after for the opportunity to have unique experiences in welcoming spaces.

Known for its stunning beaches and welcoming atmosphere, Tulum, Mexico is steadily becoming a popular destination for LGBTQ+ travelers and allies. Its PRIDE scene has been growing with standout events like Playa Pride and the debut of Kismet Pride—its first-ever Black LGBTQIA+ Pride experience. Playa Pride draws revelers from Tulum, Playa del Carmen and Cancún for beachside parties, a vibrant parade and regional solidarity.

Prague's Pride is both a joyful festival and a powerful act of resistance. The 2025 theme, "Where Is My Home?"—a poignant line from the Czech national anthem—touches on questions of identity, belonging and safety for queer people in today's hostile political climate. With over 200 events across the city, Prague Pride offers a diverse range of activities including open-air concerts, art exhibitions, debates, community forums and nightlife. The highlight is the annual parade through the UNESCO-listed historic center.

Beyond the parade's festive atmosphere, the march also serves as a political demonstration advocating for equality, transgender rights and social justice.

The island also boasts several queer-friendly businesses and accommodations that hold events and activities welcoming LGBTQ+ patrons.
