Whatever their age, race, sexual orientation, etc, everyone loves Flagging in the Park. Whether participating, just watching or in my case photographing, it’s one of the best events in San Francisco. It is always a pleasure and I hope that my photos convey some of the joy that can be felt at this event. Here are the photos>
Thank you Supreme Court for doing the right thing. Marriage Equality is now the law of the land! And, they timed the announcement right before Pride which was awesome. In fact over a million people came to San Francisco Pride to celebrate the decision. There were so many people I couldn’t get close enough to photograph the actual parade, but here are lots of photos of the marchers as they queued up to march.
Boys, beers and balls were all in evidence at the Mr S Leather store party. There was lots to celebrate, new gear to try on and lots of friendly guys to chat with or drool over. Stratton Moore was delivering on the hotness as he shook his money maker. For more photos of the party, take a look here. NSFW by the way.
There has been a lot of discussion about the lack of leather at the Folsom Street Fair, but as I look through my photos there are still plenty of men wearing leather. Of course the street fair is about celebrating fetishes and kinks, no matter what they may be. It seems that the definition of what is kinky or a fetish has grown to include many more including sports gear, rubber and neoprene, furry costumes, cosplay and so on. There were a number of drag queens walking the fair and they seemed to garner the most attention at times. There were several that were amazing! Kink.com drew large crowds to their performances of BDSM as did Mr S Leather. The wrestlers were another favorite, as hot, sweaty guys grappled with each other and invited audience participation. Wrestling singlets have become very popular as fetish wear, so it was often hard to tell who was into wrestling and who just liked the look.
The stage by the SF Eagle was dotted with flaggers or flow artists and was spectacular. The movement and color was a great addition to the music and was fun to watch. Below are a couple of photos by Some Men Photography that show some of the diversity of the fair. To see more photos, here is a link to Some Men Photography gallery.
Mr S Leather extended their usual pre-folsom store party to include Friday and Saturday before Folsom. There were lots of men from around the world in town for Folsom and many stopped in at Mr S to find a new outfit or accessory for the Sunday street fair. Its always fun to see the guys at the street fair and see what they decided to wear and what new gear the picked up at Mr S. The store party is a preview of what you will see on Sunday, but without the tourists. Just lots of hot men getting trying on leather and gear to see what looks good on them.

The San Francisco Gay Rodeo was held in Duncans Mills and Guerneville this year and was a great event. The Friday welcome pool party was full of hot cowboys, beautiful drag queens and folk who came for the rodeo events. The weekend was packed with parties, dances and rodeo events. It’s been a few years since I attended a gay rodeo, so it was a really special weekend seeing friends and watching the cowboys and cowgirls compete. I can’t wait for it to return next year! Here are more photos from rodeo. 
As the Lady Gaga song Boys, Boys, Boys says, “I like you a lot, lot, think you’re really hot, hot!” Yes, the boys, leathermen, pups, bears, cubs, etc., were all hot, hot! For a slide show click on the link, hot, hot!
SF Pride is always a good time. Everyone was happy and the day was gorgeous. See all the photos here.
Sexy boys, beer, more sexy boys and wrestlers, wow! What a great afternoon watching all the frisky boys trying on gear. The SF Grapplers were a lot a fun to watch and a few guys took the opportunity to try their skills against club members. Want to see photos from the party? Click the link for a slide show, NSFW!
