San Francisco Pride went off with nary a hitch.  While many seemed to most excited by Jennifer Beals, I was excited to see Phil Angelides appear at the event.  He also attended the Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club annual Pride Breakfast.  Also, I was told by Mark Leno that Angelides was going to be riding in the parade with him, but I was running around and didn’t get to see him in the parade.  If, in fact, he was able to appear in at least part of the parade, it would mark the first time a major party gubenatorial nominee has appeared at Pride in San Francisco, possibly in the nation at large.  It’s refreshing to see a candidate that isn’t afraid of showing his support for the LGBT community.  Angelides also promised that if Mark  Leno’s gay marriage bill reaches him as governor, he will sign it. 

Mayor Newsom, Sen Migden, and all the usual SF elected officials appeared at the event, which attracted.  The picture was taken at the Pink Triangle Event held at Twin Peaks on Saturday morning of (L->R) Brian Devine, Mark Leno, and Brian Leubitz (SFBrianCL).  The event commemorates the discrimination faced by the community and usually draws a nice crowd for the unveiling of the giant pink triange on the side of the hill.
