SF Pride is an annual event drawing thousands of people from around the country for a weekend of activism, acceptance and celebrating the LGBT community. Not only are there extreme divisions in opinion here, but the issue is also highly topical during an election year when President Obama publicly stated that he supports gay marriage, yet still leaves individual states to decide on the laws for themselves.Ī few weekends ago D and I spent most of our waking hours walking around San Francisco enjoying the celebratory relaxed atmosphere of SF Pride.
In a country that prides itself on freedom and diversity, LGBT rights are both an intriguing and controversial topic to blog about.
