Pride Parade, celebration has a political bent
Julian Guthrie, Chronicle Staff Writer Sunday, June 14, 2009
The 39th annual San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride Parade is June 28 and is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m., traveling west along Market Street from Beale Street to Eighth Street.
The party will continue at Civic Center, with live music, speakers, food and drinks. All ages are welcome. The event is free.
The Pride Parade caps a month of gay-themed festivities and is expected to draw its regular cast of colorful characters and city leaders, gawkers and cheering spectators. There will be some 200 floats and hundreds of thousands of people lining Market Street.
But this party will also have a clear political message, coming in the wake of the state Supreme Court's ruling upholding the voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage. The theme for this year's parade is: "To Form a More Perfect Union."
"We're working on two things: legalizing same-sex marriage and making the country a better place," said Mikayla Connell, president of San Francisco Pride's board of directors. "The theme touches upon the inherent promise of life, liberty and equality for all."
The parade will be led off by Dykes on Bikes, a group of lesbians on motorcycles. Some of the new additions to this year's parade include: Army National Guard Lt. Dan Choi, a gay Arabic-speaking linguist who was dismissed after coming out on national television

Not sure I would say “Political Bent” in this headline, butt...
I thought homos tell us that it’s their own business so why have these freak parades???
do you think the state run media will have cameras there showing their disgusting perverted acts and their very bizarre costumes as well as them mocking a religion?
nah I didn;t think so either, if they did the sheep who say they have a couple of homo friends and they are nice etc will be shocked at their friends behaviour
here in L.A., they will show ‘some’ images BUT because tonight is Game 5 for the LA Lakers, the fudge packer event will be at the very back of news stories (IF LA wins the championship tonight).
You must have a strong stomach!
Uh, it's "pursuit of happiness," not "equality for all." The difference is precisely because the Founders did NOT believe is equal results, only equal opportunity.
Now thats a really bizarre fetish. For those who don't know, some gay guys like to inject their scrotums with saline solution, so they are as big as a cantaloupe. Don't ask me what its about, and no, I don't have any first hand experience. Please, don't anybody post any pics!!!!!
“”the fudge packer event will be at the very back of news stories””
I figured Kobe would figure prominently in the news coverage if the Lakers win.
> I figured Kobe would figure prominently in the news coverage if the Lakers win.<
It’s going to be wall to wall Kobe talk until you puke. I also dont think there’s going to be a riot either 1) we’re broke 2) L.A. is a laid back city. The only riots that are worthwhile are only when blacks and mexicans are PO’d.
If the queer community weren’t so hell-bent on changing our culture, this would be funny to watch.
Typical Democrat goals. It reminds me of the ACLU fighting for the Bill of Rights and pushing for gun control.
They’re proud because they have sex. You know. Like Oysters can. Congrats folks. You have reduced the meaning of life to a glandular secretion. Quite an accomplishment.
So they are proud because they have sex, does that mean us oldsters should have a parade every time we have sex?
