One person detained so far at Gavin Inauguration

One of about 20 radical queer activists was detained briefly at about 11:30 today. A man walking through the crowd brushed against the red cornstarch that one of the protesters was holding. He was upset that it got on his jacket, so he asked the police to arrest the person who had the cornstarch. While he was talking to the cops, he turned back to the grouping of queers and yelled, "Fuck you, you lesbian bitch!" The detained person was let go.

All the top cops are there- Fagan, Rick Bruce, and Putts...During the singing of the national anthem, they said amongst themselves that the moment any noise or anything happens, they will move in (and likely arrest people). They have put their gloves on and have their batons out. (11:50am)

More about the demo: There are several thousand people in suits in attendance, and an hour before things started, people had already gathered with a banner that read, "Thank god for term limits!" (This is a reference to former Mayor Willie Brown, whose term expired today)
