End: Saturday, May 31, 2025 12:00AM

Throughout history, art has served as a powerful declaration of resistance, a rallying cry for freedom, and a vision of what is possible in the face of overwhelming odds. As we gather for the Pride Renaissance Gala, we turn to one of the most enduring symbols of defiance and resilience: Michelangelo’s David—a masterpiece of the Italian High Renaissance and a potent political statement in its time.

Michelangelo sculpted David (1501 to 1504) not as a triumphant warrior but with his gaze locked on the enormity of the challenge ahead. This was an intentional departure from traditional depictions of David, which showed him victorious against Goliath. Instead, Michelangelo chose to capture a moment of readiness, resolve, and fearless preparation—a message to Florence’s enemies that they would not back down.

At the time, Florence was a republic under siege, a city-state fighting for its autonomy against larger, wealthier forces, including the powerful Medici family. Their ambitions threatened to dismantle the very foundations of civil liberty. Sound familiar? The David sculpture, placed in the heart of Florence, was a warning to those, like the Medici, who sought to corrupt, control, and suppress: We will not yield. We will stand and fight.

Like Renaissance Florence, San Francisco has long been a center of innovation, pushing the boundaries of civil liberty and equality. The Pride Renaissance Gala is not just a celebration of our innovation and resilience—it is a declaration. A moment to gather our strength as a community and to remind the world that we are warriors in this fight. Just as David’s gaze toward the horizon served as a warning, we gather to send a message: We will not be erased.

Join us. Stand with us.

The fight for the future is now.
