SF Pride No Longer Represents Transgender Community? - by a TG personIt is common knowledge that SF Pride rejected Bradley Manning, as a Grand Marshal for this years' celebration. It is believed that Bradley Manning is transgender. Many people in the United States say he is a hero, while some view him as a traitor.
Even though veteran Grand Marshals voted him in, SF Pride President Lisa Williams went on the record and said "it was a mistake and never should have happened."
But what is more disconcerting is that the San Francisco Pride Committee does not appe... Posted: Sat Apr 27, 2013 7:21PM
Bradley Manning Rejected as Grand Marshal by pro-Obama SF Gay Parade Director - by repostThe Obama fans insist on flouting their reactionary, pro-business and pro-war politics everywhere. The latest is the rejection of the appointment of Bradley Manning as a grand marshal at San Francisco's annual gay pride parade on the last Sunday on June. Manning is the heroic young gay military person who embarrassed US imperialism by exposing its lies, but no one was harmed. For that, he should be given the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Nobel Peace Prize. Posted: Sat Apr 27, 2013 4:58PM

Queering Snitches, Landlords, and Bosses? Why Anarchists Must Not Host "Queering Anarchism - by qu@ckWe are writing to inform you about concerns we have with the book Queering Anarchism, recently published by AK Press. This is not a critique of the politics within Queering Anarchism, albeit we have many, rather it is to offer you vital information on some of the contributing authors.

Gorky Park - by jabberJust after the revolution, at least during the first decade of Soviet rule one could speak about a great improvement in the sexual emancipation and gender equality. For instance, in the Criminal Codes of the RSFSR of 1922 and 1926 there were no articles concerning the criminal responsibility for being gay, since Soviet legislation was unaware of the “crimes against morality”.

Will we have to celebrate our ten-year anniversary over the phone, as we celebrated our five-year anniversary? There is no reason for the United States to maintain these unjust laws other than bigotry, pure and simple. But we, as Americans, can choose to stand up and tell the government that we will no longer endure the pain and suffering being inflicted upon American citizens.

SF Nudity Ban is a Political Witchhunt - by Had EnoughSan Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener succeeded in obtaining passage of a very reactionary nudity ban in San Francisco in a close 6 to 5 vote on November 20, 2012, with opposition from David Campos, Christina Olague, John Avalos, Eric Mar, and Jane Kim. All 11 supervisors are Democrats. Supervisor Wiener, elected in 2010 from District 8 (the predominately gay Castro plus Duboce Triangle, Noe Valley, Diamond Heights and Glen Park), who happens to be gay, has hopefully promoted one piece of r...
