A heart plaque honoring Rachele Sullivan has been installed in Eagle Plaza. We thought it appropriate to hold the official plaque unveiling during Leather Week.
Rachele, who died in 2022 at the age of 54, was a cis straight ally and leatherwoman, one of the founders of our Cultural District, and a prominent figure in SOMA’s Filipino community. Rachele also served on the board of Folsom Street, helping to launch Venus’ Playground, the women’s space at the Folsom Street Fair.
Rachele’s friends and familiy joined the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District and Friends of Eagle Plaza on Tuesday, September 24, in Eagle Plaza (in front of the San Francisco Eagle, 398 12th Street) to share memories of Rachele.
