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?
Then I suggest you change the posting screen. How hard can that be?
For me. Impossible. I'm not a programmer. Look no one is going to get banned for not putting the link. Unless it is a deliberate pattern. It is just the honor system.

Never been a problem for me. I always put in the link.
