San Francisco Pride’s Grand Marshals are the public emissaries of Pride. They represent a mix of individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the LGBT community. With the help of community input, Pride selects these groups and individuals as Grand Marshals in order to honor the work they have put into furthering the causes of LGBT people. Grand Marshals are organized into three major categories: Community Grand Marshals, the Celebrity Grand Marshal, and the Lifetime Achievement Grand Marshal.
