BAS Pride in Pictures 2015

BAS 2013 PRIDE IN PICTURES- DOMA/ PROP 8 Go Down; Drag In the Academy; Sexing Thru SoMa; MORE! Partying and Hard Frenching

Pride in San Francisco is never a mellow affair, but even by the Barbary Coast’s well- seasoned standards, this was one hell of a joyride.  From Castro on Wednesday until grooving through the bodies electric on Sunday, our eagle-eyed contributor, Fabian, caught the City as she swelled rhythmically in a
