Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg called San Francisco Pride in 2015 to ensure Facebook had a spot at the annual parade.

SF Pride formally cut ties with Meta in March after the social media company enacted a number of new policies.

The organization's budget is down $ 180,000 from their target because of a drop of overall corporate sponsors, a spokesperson said.

The threat of a lawsuit coupled with the possibility of a public tongue-lashing by Trump , other politicians and social media has caused many tech leaders to stay quiet.

Executives who support LGBTQ+ and related issues are doing so under the radar to avoid drawing attention, HRCI CEO Amy Dufrane said.
