Tonight, get your glee on at a one-of-a-kind Pride concert, stare at the ceiling instead of the walls for a change, or admire some Dickerman Prints in their natural habitat. more ›

Pride isn't the only celebration this weekend: a group of (presumably not Pride-related) flash mobbers will be commemorating the 2nd anniversary of Michael Jackson's death with a series of Thriller dances across town tomorrow afternoon. more ›

Nikki Calma, who has been behind the wheel at the SF Pride Committee since the former board president and executive director both stepped down back in October, announced that she is also leaving the all-volunteer board. Calma, or Tita Aida as you might know her, says she's resigning due to recent health issues and not the committee's ongoing financial problems. more ›

Due to continuing controversy over "crumbling finances," Amy Andre, executive director of the San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration Committee, quit this week. "This year saw controversy as beverage partners, typically community organizations who provide volunteers to work drink booths at the event in exchange for a portion of the revenue, received a letter saying that because of an 'accounting error,' their cut of proceeds was less than anticipated," reports BAR. "Several organizations received thousands of dollars less than they had expected." Also, Board President Mikayla Connell announced her departure from Pride's, effective immediately. Oh, drama.

Oakland Pride, forgotten mousy cousin of San Francisco Pride? Maybe a little. But this year's LGBT Pride celebration on the other side of the bridge promises to be worth a BART trip under the Bay. Headlining the queer festivities is none other than Chaka Khan. She feels for you. She thinks she loves you. She's every woman. So, give her some love back this Sunday, Sept. 5. more ›

Here is part II of SFist's attempt to round up all the gay/queer/trans and ever-so lesbian happenings going down about town on Saturday. (Stay tuned for Sunday events!) And, as Jay mentioned in yesterday's Pride rundown, "for those of you who count some gays among your coworkers, please take it as a given that Monday will be a sick day, if they haven't asked for it off already." This is not a joke. Gays are useless on the Monday after Pride. And look here if you're still short on stuff to do tonight. (Photos above by Darwin Bell) more ›

As the month of June approaches, a mix of cologne, sweat, joy, poppers, hair molding clay, meth clouds, mixed drinks, guilt and delicious tourism dollars will fill the air as the LGBT Pride Parade celebrates 40 years of homosexuality... and then some. To get a jump start on the festivities, be sure to clear your calendar this Saturday for the SF Pride's 40 & Fabulous Benefit 2010. Hosted by Tita Aida and Pollo del Mar. more ›

SFist reader Emmanuelle sent us this shockingly accurate witticism that popped up recently at 20th and Harrison, just across from Flour + Water and Cafe Gratitude. more ›

While we plan on banning next year's SF Pride Parade and adjacent festivities unless former KRON 4 movie critic and San Francisco treasure Jan Wahl and beloved City Hall tranny Donna Sachet are immediately brought back cover it live -- for reals, those two were nothing short of TV fucking magic, folks; KOFY should hand them their own show right this second -- the theme for the 2010 Homosexual Pride Parade was announced yesterday. It is: 40 and Fabulous. Ta-da. And not just because only old people attend Pride. See, it's the parade's 40th anniversary. So, there you have it. more ›

Can't decide which Muni shirt to wear to show off your, ahem, hyper-local pride? Fret not! LA-based MikeJames Clothing offers an even better chance to boast about your favorite city with their Area Code t-shirts. See, each shirt features an area code and a graphic outline of the state of your choice. (Be the envy of all of Jenner with your very own 707 shirt!) In addition to several California area codes, the MJ has made shirts for Las Vegas, Austin, Seattle, New Orleans, Atlanta, Madison, Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Boston, and New York. more ›

Yesterday's Up Your Alley Fair is what the Folsom Street Fair used to be before all the tourists pushing baby strollers started showing up. More than 8,000 leather daddies -- and as many as perhaps a dozen biological women -- braved the cold fog wearing little more than a gimp mask and a smile to benefit PAWS, the AIDS Emergency Fund, and others. We tried to limit the amount of naked penis visible in these shots, but in that kind of environment there's only so much a photographer can do. The fully-lubed, unexpurgated photoset can be can be found at DJTennessee's flickr page, as well as a few over at Nature abhors a vacuum. more ›

KRON 4's two bestest fag-hags (Catherine Heenan, Jan Wahl) and Donna Sachet inexplicably managed to do a decent job covering this year's LGBT Pride Parade. (Bonus points go to field reporter Henry Tenenbaum who didn't know how to pronounce Kamala Harris' name, must to her disgust.) But, of course, their coverage focused on blindly happy, newly married queer couples and their doomed -- doomed, we say! -- children. Gross. more ›

Aside from Juanita More's party at Bambuddha Lounge, the Frameline Film Fest, KRON4 fag hag Jan Wahl's coverage of the parade, the meth cloud that will hover above Beck's Motor Lodge, and the bittersweet tang of buried shame rising to the surface, we can't say we're looking forward to this month's melee. We're just that cool. Or bitter. Or both. more ›

Somehow we overlooked this last week, but local porn-ish blog, the Sword, captured images of San Francisco's openly bent politicos Supervisor/personality Bevan Dufty and city treasurer Jose Cisneros kicking it together at Sydney's Gay Mardi Gras. And it looked downright outrageous. more ›

Well, it's been fun. The trailers, the megawatt celebrity sightings, the lights, the cameras, the not being invited to cast/crew parties -- SFist will miss it all. As most of you know, Gus Van Sant's biopic -- the story of assassinated San Francisco Supervisor and gay rights advocate, Harvey Milk -- started shooting in January. This past Sunday, the production came to an end. Alas. more ›
