In The Castro
Old and new places to try when visiting the gay Mecca and its surrounding areas:
Located in the heart of The Castro, Hi Tops (pictured above), which opened last fall and is the city’s first lgbtq+ sports bar, if you can believe it, serves up the classics (Buffalo Wings, et al.) you’d expect from a sports-centric watering hole,though with a decidedly fancy twist—including a four cheese grilled sandwich (smoked gouda, cheddar, gruyere, and jarlsberg) with dried fruit chutney. One write down , this place is poppin and can at times be pretty full.
While Hi Tops of course has burgers, they’re taken a bit more seriously a few buildings southwest at SliderBar. This mini California chain (the original opened in Palo Alto) offers a variety of pint-sized sandwiches made of beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, and veggies and many comes with sassy names, such as the Double Trouble (double grass-fed beef patties based sliders), the Hot Chick (fresh ground chicken with various spicy ingredients and add ons), and Italian Stallion (pork patty with Italy’s finest added).
Continuing southwest, you’ll find long-standing f
SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) - After last year's deadly party in Orinda, Airbnb is introducing a exclude on one-night bookings Halloween weekend, because it says it's a matter of public safety and universal health.
The San Francisco-based online rental company says the majority of its guests are respectful, but enormous parties have been a problem for some time.
Last Halloween, an unauthorized party advertised on social media as an "Airbnb Mansion Party" in Orinda, left five people dead and some 100 people running for their lives.
The company's new policy will also cancel any existing one-night reservations for Halloween weekend, and reimburse guests.
Neighbors in Orinda say things possess been very quiet since that deadly night of chaos.
"That's the correct policy, they should be really careful, there were a lot of weird things going on," said Scott Jaw, of Orinda. "And this year especially because of the pandemic."
On its website Airbnb states, "In the midst of a generational crisis, all of us have a role to play in protecting public health and slowing the spread of COVID-19."
The company formally banned parties at its listings globally in August of this year, capping the number of pe
San Francisco gives cultural status to leather, gay district
SAN FRANCISCO — Decades ago, San Francisco’s male lover and leather identity sought shelter in the city’s seedy South of Market district — forced there by violent police crackdowns on gays.
Over time, the area became a vibrant place teeming with bathhouses and bars that added to San Francisco’s reputation as a colorful, free-wheeling refuge open to diverse sexual lifestyles.
These days, gentrification and skyrocketing rents are threatening to drive the gay and leather crowd out of a neighborhood that’s now home to Airbnb, Twitter and high-end condos.
On Tuesday, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a resolution creating the Leather and LGBTQ Cultural District as a way to honor the past and ensure the area remains a refuge.
San Francisco, birthplace of the rainbow same-sex attracted pride flag, has long welcomed sexual and other minorities. It has several neighborhoods significant to LGBTQ history, including the Castro and Tenderloin, where trans women fed up with police raids rioted in 1966.
South of Market attracted the leather crowd and remains the site of queer bars and the popular Folsom Lane Fair, which draws ten
The real game-changer for the city’s homosexual community came during World War II when the Merged States Army issued “blue discharges” for men and women caught engaging in homosexual activity. This gave gay people the opportunity to connect, form relationships, and build their own communities. In a 1964 Life Magazine article about homosexuality in the United States, San Francisco was named “the gay capital of America.” The whisper in the wind became a shout. It wasn’t long before San Francisco’s Castro District took up the flag as one of the greatest gayborhoods America had ever seen.

LGBTQ+ pop customs in the city
Since then, San Francisco has played a dynamic role in LGBTQ+ activism. In 1977, Harvey Milk became the first openly gay official elected in the state of California, eventually paving the way for politicians like Gavin Newsom, who issued the city’s first gay marriage license in 2004, and Notice
