San Diego’s annual Pride celebration began with a multifaith prayer service held at St Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral on Tuesday evening, marking the tenth year of the event known as Light the Cathedral. The service featured religious leaders from a range of faiths gathering with the LGBT community.
The event, organised in partnership with San Diego Pride, was described by organisers as a spiritual and community-focused start to Pride Week. It has been held at the cathedral annually since 2015.
Religious leaders in attendance included representatives from Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities, with the exterior of St Paul’s Cathedral being lit in rainbow colours.
