Folsom Street Fair – XXX

The leather pride banners lining Market Street are a great reminder that the Folsom Street Fair is happening on the last Sunday in September. The banners made their first appearance for the 25th Folsom Street Fair and this year it turned 30 and what a party it was. Community connection, fetish sexuality and philanthropy all rolled into one event. There was all kinds of BDSM play, adult games and over 200 vendors bringing their kinky products and services to the attendees. Despite some commercialization, this event remains focused on the kink community. There are no politicians, no banks, and no grocery stores there. It’s all about fetishes, leather and sex. And yes, I saw some guys having some fun here and there. If you like leather, sex and kinky play, by all means follow this link to see what I am talking about.

On June 26th, 2013 California became Lucky 13 as Gays and Lesbians could once again get married in California.  The annual Pride Parade became an extra special celebration this year as we celebrated our victory in getting Prop 8 overturned as well as the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).  Check out the photos from the day as the LGBT community and our straight allies celebrated PRIDE!  More photos…

The LGBT community and their allies celebrate Marriage Equality.

On June 26th, 2013, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was unconstitutional and that any couple legally married could not be denied the benefits of marriage.  On this day, they also ruled that the plaintiffs to Proposition 8 had no legal standing to challenge the ruling by Judge Vaughan Walker.  Thus, Prop 8 was finally declared unconstitutional.  Gays and Lesbians could once again get married in California.  California became lucky 13 in 2013.  In the evening of the 26th, Castro street was closed and people gathered to celebrate the rulings by partying in the street.
