BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — The start of summer brings quite a special celebration; Pride Month in Kern County. Some are ready to kick off the festivities.

Standard School District announces resignation of Superintendent at Tuesday board meeting Though many might think pride would take a step back because of anti-immigration protests around the state, the queer community says now is the time to stand stronger. 'I don't see it as being as quiet. Every day I see a new event popping up all over social media or friends telling me about it,' said Gonzales. 'Now is the time to not be shy about expressing who you are or having your voice heard.' In the 7th edition of Art After Dark's Pride celebration, up to 800 attendees are expected. Partnerships have almost doubled compared to past years. 'In the past years we've had close to nine community partners…now it's up to 17,' said Gonzales.
