Pride Weekend
Last year for Pride Weekend, there were over 10,000 people in Bidwell Parkway - gay, lesbian, straight, transgendered, queer, bisexual. There were young, old, families, drag queens, circuit boys, leather daddies, preppy femmes, fetish girls, bois, bears, lawyers, pastors, baristas, homemakers, actors, designers, dykes, electricians, doctors, musicians, etc. There was a sense of freedom, a sense of family, a sense of belonging found in no other place during the year.
