The night before San Francisco's signature Pride Parade takes over Market Street, the city was buzzing with vibrant celebrations from the Castro to downtown.
There were colorful displays of pride decorating Kokak Chocolates on 18th and Sanchez Streets in the Castro. Owner Carol Gancia's passion and identity as a queer Filipina are reflected in her handcrafted work.
The shop is big draw for frequent customers like Glenn Gangano, who grew up nearby in San Francisco. He also attended Kokak's first ever drag brunch Saturday. In downtown San Francisco, the W hotel hosted"Long Live Drag." The event celebrated and honored the life of LGBTQ icon Heklina,while in London for a performance. A portion of the night's proceeds went to the Oasis Arts Foundation, which partners with Oasis Nightclub in San Francisco, which Heklina co-founded.
Miss Shugana and Madd-Dogg 20/20 were among those who entertained the crowd with performances. They said it is especially important to express themselves now, as anti-LGBTQ legislation, threats, and violence ramp up in mostly red states across the country.
