Politicians, police join thousands in march for gay pride in San Francisco

1 Comment

For the 42nd year the gay pride parade was held in San Francisco.  Police officers and politicians were associated with rainbow flags and banners as the city celebrated the community of the lesbian, gay and transgender lifestyle.

Market Street, the main street in the city, saw over 200 floats.

Some parade participants were dressed in bright outfits made of balloons and some participants and parade watchers wore barely anything.

Mayor Ed Lee was to speak at the Civic Center close by the parade’s end area.  He’ll be located around the same area as the infamous gay rights activist and San Francisco City Supervisor Harvey Milk addressed gay pride celebrants a little over 30 years ago.

Organizers of San Francisco’s weekend events  stated that this is the largest LGBT gathering in the nation.  However, thousands also celebrated in Chicago and New York City.

NAVY ASKED TO HONOR JIM JONES ADVOCATE

The Navy have been asked by the San Francisco board of supervisors to honor Harvey Milk. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has voted 9-2 in favour of the move. Milk was a prominent homosexual activist in San Francisco in the 1970s, but was gunned down by fellow board member Dan White in 1978.

Now Milk’s memory is revered amongst the homosexual community not only in San Francisco but across America.

However, what is less well known is Milk’s connections to Jim Jones.

Jim Jones was the leader of the People’s Temple. Jones cult organisation campaigned for Milk and other San Francisco politicians, like Mayor Mascone. Jim Jones’ is even reported to have bused in his followers from Redwood, California, to vote in the mayoral elections, which saw Mascone elected.

The liberal left elite were even reluctant to investigate Jones when allegations of financial irregularities began to emerge. The People’s Temple ended in tragedy with the mass suicide of Jones followers in Jonestown Guyana.

The liberal left are still trying to write Jones’s out of Harvey Milk’s life. In the movie, Milk, starring Sean Penn, there was no Jim Jones figure. Why would this be, given he played such a vital role in the political landscape of San Francisco at that time?
