JUNE 2006:
( featuring SF Dyke March, SF Pride, and more)
...
SF clothing-optional or top-optional possibilities in June MIGHT include:

Haight Street Fair (possibly top-optional?), SF (early June)
(probably police might ignore bare butts and
bare female breasts; but NOT bare genitals?);


SF Dyke March (late June) (a top-optional afternoon;
but don't go nude if you have male genitals)
[ http://www.dykemarch.com ];
SF Pink Saturday (late June, on & near Castro Street, evening, just AFTER Dyke March;
adukts of any gender can go nude or topfree);


SF Pride Festival (clothing-optional on Sunday afternoon,
after the Pride Parade).
....
[ One nakist says that the SF Pride festival is also clothing-optional on Saturday;
but SUN hasn't tested this assertion yet. ]

If this Los Altos march repeats in 2007,
it should be held on a different day;
to avoid conflicting (again) with Santa Cruz Pride. ]

CALIFORNIA: primary election.
[Comments by TBL:
(a) California queers WON'T face any state-wide anti-queer propositions in 2006.
Other states are considering anti-queer measures this year;
especially amendments to state constitutions.
(b) The best ( easiest + safest ) way to vote in California is by absentee ballot.
Any California voter can become a permanent absentee voter.
You DON'T need to be disabled, etc. ]
