Every year, San Diego Pride accepts nominations from the community for the annual presentations of the Spirit of Stonewall Awards. The awards recognize individuals who contribute significantly to the LGBTQ community through their leadership, activism, and fundraising efforts. Friend of Pride: An individual who does not identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, but who has stalwartly supported the LGBT community over an extended period of years and/or has made an exceptional contribution in the past year. Our 2020 Spirit of Stonewall Friend of Pride award goes to David and Jessica Mier. Introduction: Since moving to the Uptown community, David and Jessica Mier have been dedicated to supporting San Diego’s diverse LGBTQ+ community in an effort to make a more inclusive environment for all San Diegans. While certainly proud of their other personal and professional accolades and community involvement, the Miers are most proud of their volunteer work honoring our Latinx and LGBTQ+ communities by advocating for fair, equitable, and inclusive policies and practices. Both are active members of the Stonewall Citizens’ Patrol (where Jessica is the secretary), members of MANA de San Diego (where David is a board member), and both are actively involved with the Hillcrest Town Council.
