Because she was here.

Bull-riding cowboys, pirates dressed in pink and pit bulls in rainbow-colored tutus filled Market Street among the 200 groups that left no societal convention unscathed Sunday in San Francisco's 36th annual Pride Parade and Celebration.
Hundreds of thousands of spectators jammed downtown sidewalks and reached over police gates to score multicolored beads and candy that parade participants threw into the cheering crowd.
"I'll show you my breasts!" 22-year-old Riley Fitzgerald called out jokingly in an effort to get a beaded necklace to match the pink one wrapped around his wrist.
Fitzgerald, an emergency medical service volunteer with a perfect view of the parade from a Muni platform on Market Street, cheered loudly as Mayor Gavin Newsom's Mardi Gras-themed group passed.
"I am soaking up this parade. I am so stoked," he said with candy overflowing from his fanny pack, which also carried Band-Aids, gauze and sunscreen. "I feel like I'm able to participate and contribute to the continuity of this."
People poured out of BART and Muni stations and climbed onto streetlight poles and newspaper stands for better views. Others peered from hotel and apartment windows, waving rainbow flags or dancing -- one man in his underwear -- to the marching bands' music.
Bare breasts and pierced chests spotted the parade, which spanned more than a mile from Beale to Eighth streets.
As always, the Dykes on Bikes women's motorcycle group led the procession.
"The Dykes on Bikes are where it's at," former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown said as he hurried into position before the parade started. "That's what you want to see."
"The color is just incredible," Brown said, scanning the sea of performers in front of him. "The Lord has blessed us."

Only, one?!
One of the ironies of life is that those who have the least to be proud of are proudest.
But I wouldn't trade places with a queer for any amount of special rights.
I was ticked too. Instead of pandering, why not stand up for something. Does she think they're actually going to vote for her. Get a reality check.
Just what are they proud of again?
But "they" seem to be infiltrating the Republican party as easily and efficiently as they are infiltrating the more liberal churches. It's like a game of Risk and the pink soldiers are building up more and more.
It actually makes me lose interest in Harleys. And that's saying something.
And Ozzie Guillen, manager of the reigning World Series Champion Chicago White Sox, gets fined and sent to "sensitivity training" by MLB for using the word "Fag."
And most of them are so proud they wear masks or paint their faces for the parade.
And some people wonder why Pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
AND....why wasn't Chillary here???????
Oh yes....she hasn't yet 'come out of the closet' yet....I see....
Cometh before the fall...
That is the point of this freak show.
The want you to be numbed to the deviance.
Homosexuals are no different than any other sex fetish: animal sex people, wife swappers, lether fetish people, or any other sexual act.
Notice they MSM does not include the freak images and explicit sexual content. Homosexuality is ONLY about sex it represents NOTHING else.
Better include Oregon and Washington in that, too. Portland had a big gay pride parade last Sunday (Father's Day, no less), and Seattle had a big one yesterday :-(
Because she was here.
Lol. That is too funny. Waiting for Registered to make a jpeg for this.
Yep. Those zany Sodomites are so normal.
Me too. And Willie Brown needs a wash your mouth out with soap time, too!!
Thanks. Satan is indeed alive and working to destroy God's creatures.
the Sinagogue of Satan...
