Mayor London Breed raised the light blue and pink transgender flag at City Hall Friday evening to mark November being Trans Awareness Month in San Francisco, a tradition begun last year.
Standing next to her was Clair Farley, director of San Francisco’s Office of Transgender Initiatives, which was created under the late Mayor Ed Lee and is believed to be the first and only city office of its kind in the country. It was Farley’s idea to dedicate this month to the trans community, and it has caught on in a few other cities around the country including Los Angeles and New York.
“The importance is really about raising visibility of trans people and leaders in the community who are making change, as well as recognizing those we’ve lost,” she said.

Very sad
Not like this issue is kept quiet in San Francisco, of all places. Try to have a day without the constant yammering to normalize perversion. That would be worth announcing.
I am glad that my family that helped build the City of St. Francis are not around to see how it has been
hijacked!!!!!!
We need a Mayor like George Christopher or Joe Alioto.
Signed a 4th generation San Franciscan
Joe Alioto divorced his wife and remarried without an annulment, didn’t he? The excommunicated priest Joe O’Rourke, one of the early members of the pro-abortion Catholics for a Free Choice, officiated, according to at least one news story.
Christopher, the last Republican mayor of San Francisco and Greek Orthodox, seemed to have been less scandal prone.
What is it about them that makes you think mayors like them are needed?
Would a Catholic Alioto in 2019 be about as Catholic as the Catholic Newsom?
Curious,
Look how the City was run! Did we have so many poor homeless on the streets? Were people afraid to go to downtown San Francisco for fear of being assaulted? San Francisco was still a ‘family’ city and people had more morals!! Now there are more dogs in the City than children!!!!!!
I could go on and on…….
The City has been HIJACKED and we need a Mayor and Board of Supervisors who care about the city, know how the City use to be and get it back on track.
Peace be with you.
I “hear” you and certainly don’t dispute that the city was better run then. But, there has been a cultural and social revolution in the meantime and I don’t know that a Joe Alioto-type would’ve changed that anymore than a Newsom. I’d like to see politicians who value life, marriage and family. Pro-abortion Catholic Rudy Giuliani ran New York City well. Yet, he would be only my second-to-the-last choice for mayor. And peace be with you as well.
Elizabeth, some of these people love no one, and even stab each other in the back when they get the chance. What a hellish life that must be. Always pretending to be what one is not.I laugh when I hear a man or woman say that they have to be what they are – the opposite sex. The truth is most hate the opposite sex. That is why they make a parody of it all.
