Square Celebrates Cultural District

 


A fascinating interview with key staff and volunteers of the Leather & LGBTQ Cultural District was conducted on July 14 by Vas Kiniris, Business Development Director for Next-SF, as part of the “Square Celebrates SF Cultural Districts” series.  

The panelists — Shayne Watson, Jonathan Ojinaga, Bob Goldfarb, and Cal Callahan — talked about the work of the Cultural Districts in preserving local cultures, shared some fun historical tidbits about SOMA, and shared about how they would spend an ideal afternoon (and evening!) in the District.

You can watch the recordings of the webinar here:

Leather Pride at Pride

San Francisco LGBTQ+ Pride returned to the streets, with a two-day in-person celebration in Civic Center and the historic Pride Parade down Market Street on Sunday.

The dates were June 25-26, 2022, the theme was “Love Will Keep Us Together”, and of course the LEATHER and LGBTQ Cultural District was there, marching in the parade with the Leather Contingent and hosting a booth at the Celebration.

Here are a few pictures and videos of the Leather Contingent in the Parade, taken by David Hyman
