We applaud and congratulate the honorees for their dedication and hard work, and want to extend our thanks to the Transgender Law Center, not only for the award, but for taking on the hard work that they do and doing such a wonderful job. Hurrah!
SF PRIDE Check Granting Party
Becky Benton hams it up on-stage and on the front page of the Bay Times.
San Francisco Pride's Community Partner organizations were feted and presented their share of the revenue generated by their efforts at Pride. TGSF netted well over $1,000!
This is a terrific example of Pride's committment to the community and why it's much more than just a street party.
Congratulations to those of you who participated in TGSF's Margarity Booth at Pride, this Margarita's for you!
