Flags unfurled
And so, within a few days of June, the City knew Pride month was upon us. As the iconic rainbow flags began to appear up and down Market Street to commemorate Pride Month, the community gathered at the Castro Theatre on Thursday,
June 8, to pay tribute to the flag’s creator, Gilbert Baker, who died on March 31. Hosted by Dr. Jerome Goldstein & Tommy Taylor and The Diversity Foundation, the evening started with music outside the theatre by the SF Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band, a blessing inside from the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, and the induction of Gilbert into Sainthood, a distinct honor and well-deserved recognition. Personal remembrances by Jerome, Tommy, Cleve Jones, State Senators Mark Leno and Scott Wiener, and City Supervisor Jeff Sheehy were interspersed with moving video tributes and musical performances from the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus, Thrillpeddlers, Ruby Vixen, Connie Champagne, and this singing columnist. Keeping the proceedings moving smoothly and deftly was emcee Paul Gabriel. The theatre was packed and all were invited after the program to the upstairs lobby for light food and cocktails. Thank you
to all the sponsors, performers, and attendees for ensuring that the life and work of Gilbert Baker was beautifully commemorated right here where it began. As this issue of the Bay Area Reporter hits the stands, we’ll be joining James Holloway for Opening Night of the Frameline Film Festival on Thursday, June 15, featuring The Untold Tales of Armistead Maupin, a joyous documentary about the legendary tale-teller. The Opening Night Gala follows at Terra Gallery and the festival runs through June 25. For a select list of Pride events during the rest of the month, kindly refer to the nearby index we have carefully prepared to guide you through the maelstrom of activities. Return to your favorite events, try something brand new, and make an extra effort to support the organizations and individuals who make Pride month in San Francisco the big, bold, and richly diverse happening that it is.t
