And Castro For All to Hold a Press Conference on Tuesday, April 26.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - April 25, 2005 - On Tuesday, April 26, the San Francisco Human
Rights Commission (HRC) will announce the findings of its investigation into Castro
bar owner Leslie Natali, owner of the San Francisco bars Badlands, the Detour and
The Pendulum. And Castro For All will hold a press conference at 6 p.m. Tuesday at
Harvey Milk Plaza on the corner of Castro and Market streets.

It has been nearly a year since And Castro For All revealed allegations that Natali
violated the civil rights of Blacks and women, which resulted in the HRC carrying
out a rare, full-scale investigation -- one of the largest cases in its history. It
has brought together people from every corner of the city to stand together and
proclaim to Natali, and others like him, that "discrimination is not welcome in our
city."
