San Francisco’s Folsom Street Fair Moved to different weekend.

From 200,000 to 400,000 people are expected to attend this years San Francisco Folsom Street Fair.

Usually the fair takes place the last weekend of September but was bumped up a weekend as a local large corporate tech company Oracle, had already reserved the majority of the city’s hotel rooms for a convention.

The fair has been described by some as an adult oriented leather and fetish free for all. Deviant is another term used to describe the fair. Indeed, the name of the group in the latter hours of the ‘celebration’ who will wind the festival down, is called DEVIANT.

The location of the event is situated around 13 blocks. On Folsom, between 7th and 12th street.

SF-LGBT Activists Shutting Down Government & Business: Keep Closed Gay Bar, Gay

SAN FRANCISCO – This last Monday, LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) activists prevented the San Francisco Supervisors Committee from continuing business.  That business was to approve a permit for another business to replace a business that shut down 3 months ago.

The problem, the new business is not gay.

The old business, the Eagle Tavern.  The Eagle Tavern has been a hub of sorts for the Folsom Street Fair and its openly displayed sensuality.  Many politicians hoping to win the gay vote have also made the Eagle Tavern an obligatory stop.

Openly homosexual Supervisors Scott Wiener and David Campos added their agreement.
