Pride month kicks off in San Francisco with Jane Fonda at Castro Theatre and downtown pop-up drag showsOn the first day of Pride, there were no signs of San Francisco's typical "June gloom" weather. The colors of the giant rainbow flag on Market Street were bright against the blue sky, flying high in San Francisco's Castro District.
Manny Yekutiel, owner of the restaurant and community hall Manny's in the Mission District, was host of the event, Fonda received a standing ovation as she came dancing onto the stage. Yekutiel welcomed Fonda and sat down for a conversation about LGBTQ rights, her acting career, and her activism that recently has focused on climate change and environmental causes.
The conversation was candid and tapped into this year's SF Pride theme, "Looking back and moving forward." Downtown, a new Pride program was launched Thursday with the first in a series of weekly pop-up drag shows this month called Drag me Downtown. The events will be held at different downtown businesses from 5-7pm.
