SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - San Francisco's 40th annual gay pride weekend drew thousands to Civic Center Plaza, with even more expected Sunday for a parade, a Backstreet Boys concert and comments from U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Organizers kicked off the event Saturday in front of City Hall where thousands converged as vendors sold barbecue and burritos and DJs spun tunes on a large stage. Advocates for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community shared booths alongside corporate sponsors. "It's part political, it's part a party," said Darryl Groom, 55, explaining the elements that brought him and his partner, Tobey Tam, 41, to San Francisco from Cape Coral, Fla. San Francisco's gay pride festivities have come a long way since the first parade in 1970, as has the LGBT movement, organizers and historians say. The first pride parade had about 150 to 200 people, said Gerard Koskovich of the GLBT Historical Society. "Barely anybody noticed," he said. "I've seen pictures of it." The following year, there wasn't even a march, he said, just a gathering in Golden Gate Park. Today, the march attracts tens of thousands of people, and a growing number of those are not in the LGBT community, Koskovich said. "That homophobia that says, 'Eek, I'm not going to hang out with these people,' has turned into, 'Boy, these people throw a great party.'" San Francisco Pride Executive Director Amy Andre said the fight for equal rights for lesbians, gays, bisexual and transgender people has also come a long way since the first pride celebration in 1970. At the time, gay sex was a crime in California. This year, a prerecorded address will be delivered by Pelosi and The Backstreet Boys will perform. Andre said this year's theme, "40 and Fabulous," is partly intended to celebrate the movement's progress. "But we're also reflecting on the fact that we still have a long way to come for equal rights," Andre added.

Did anyone check this article for accuracy...given the poster's defiant history of editing articles?
War. It is you who edits content of articles. Quit spinning.
Bloggers and others routinely cite the content of articles and editorialize the title, and it's generally considered acceptable as long as the original article is linked. That's far different than changing the article itself without acknowledging such.
Read any website's TOS...ALL content on the website is copyrighted. That includes titles. And you know that you've changed the content of articles here. And when it was pointed out that I inserted "obese" I acknowledged it.
IIRC, you didn't even link the original source. Terms of Service be damned, it's generally accepted that it's ok to editorialize the Title as long as the original source is linked.
Chuckles... I made an error in the link and put a comma instead of a period. The link here is optional anyway... And thanks for not denying that you've edited articles...
The link isn't optional. If you have a source put the link there. If you write something yourself there will be no link.
Apparently you've forgotten what your own site looks like.
Hey smart ass. I just gave you the rules. Just because you can be an asshole and leave it blank doesn't mean I condone that. It is for people who write their own articles. Got it?
That explanation was previously found where?
It doesn't matter. You know it now.
Got it. So far: Anyone posting shit you agree with can violate copyright laws but I can't. Any other serendipitous rules you'd care to share? Or do you need to consult with Tull?
First off. Copyright laws is limited to a 10 mile jurisdiction. Secondly there is no violation of any copyright law for describing an article in your own words. If I think it is fair it will stay. If it offends me I may remove it. If it is an article that offends me with the original title. I will probably let it stay. There are all kinds of articles people post here that I believe are pure bullshit. But I let 99 percent of them stay. You like to argue a lot.
You like to single me out a lot. Everyone here is in an argument at any given time. And what you've stated is 100% incorrect. Copyright reach extends within the jurisdiction of the US and is even enforceable beyond water's edge under some treaties. There's a whole body of common law dedicated to it.
Yeah, and the constitution doesn't protect free speech for corporations.
Correct. Only people have rights. Read Madison. He specifically states that corporations are dangers to liberty. He makes the case that they exist as an entity NOT as a person. There was no such thing as corporate "rights" until the late 19th century when they started buying politicians. Do you know what Panama came into existence?
The supreme court just bitch slapped that nonsense. Only people can talk so they are the only ones who could possible have free speech. People are free to contract as they see fit. They are allowed to peacefully assemble. Just because they form a corporation doesn't mean they lose any rights. Do they also lose right to trial by jury? What about the fourth amendment? And on and on and on.
Nope. The SCOTUS is as much a statist body as the other two branches. There is nothing that can be found contemporary to the creation of the USCON and the first amendment that put the "commerical" under the penumbra of the Speech clause.
You're a broken record war. Also I have a suggestion for Neil. Neil if you could some day make two new functions for your pinguinite software. One function would be called blind. The host could blind users from seeing comments from other users. Another would be bind. It would prevent certain posters from interacting with each other. Just an idea I've had for a while.
Maybe you should just give up the site. It sounds like you can't handle the pressure certain posters put on you to manipulate discussion here.
Fuck you. Maybe I can just delete you instead.
Its amazing how much shit you put up with. Freddie thinks being banned is a 'honor badge' has for years. Mininggold? She just badmouths and follows the small crowd. The anti groupie? Legend in his own mind, combination of the two. In fact, he might be freddie and mininggold's illigit kid, if in vitro was available in the late 50's. Can't be true since it wasn't possible back then, and I doubt freddie could get it up with a crane over a female.
Stoney...seriously...how is this any of Boofer's business? Tull pushed you around and routinely goaded you to ban me and, I'm sure others. Boofer has his own board - gopqueefingroom.com - that he can run as he can see fit. Why does he feel the need to give you advice?
Stop your crying, Tic. You violated copyright law and I gave Stone a heads up for his protection. Be a man and accept responsibility.
Like that will ever happen...(chuckle) Its all about 'him' JT. Haven't you heard?
Since you and JT are best buds now, why won't he let you post at his site?
I have enough political websites I'm a member of, thanks for your concern...lol Who said he wouldn't? Who says he didn't? (laughing)
I say he won't. Why not prove me wrong by posting something there? Surely you can fit another web site into your busy day.
I think you have more time on your hands than I do skippy. I'm interested in politics. You seem to be focused on bullshit today, and you have the time for it.
I don't claim to be the owner of four businesses. I've never known the owner of a single business who could spend all day, every day, posting on chat sites while watching tv and listening to the radio. Fortunately for me, I made my money and have the freedom to do what I choose. What I choose to do today is call out bullshitters.
Fortunately for me, I made my money and have the freedom to do what I choose. What I choose to do today is call out bullshitters. 'I don't claim to be the owner of four businesses.' Nor do I. 'I've never known the owner of a single business' I believe this. "who could spend all day, every day," All day? 24 hours? 12? 8? or the 6 you tossed out previously that didn't hold up to scrutiny? 'posting on chat sites while watching tv' No television here. Wrong again. ' and listening to the radio.' Oh, the Horror! I have a radio in my office! (laughing) 'Fortunately for me, I made my money and have the freedom to do what I choose.' Uh huh...sure you do skippy. 'What I choose to do today is call out bullshitters. ' What you choose to do is pretend you're a 'somebody' on the internet, skippy. You aren't.
That was on this site alone. As you yourself admit, you post on many different sites. I don't have the inclination to hunt those down to add to your daily total.
