Why did they pick a similar color and style to the Golden Gate?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a trickier question to answer than you might imagine, but here goes …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bridge in Lisbon opened in 1966, nearly 30 years after construction finished on San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge. It was originally called the Salazar Bridge, after Portugal’s prime minister and dictator at the time. When a revolution overthrew the government in 1974, the name of the bridge was changed to the new independence date — Ponte 25 de Abril.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bridges are actually quite different once you look closely, says Bart Ney, chief of public affairs for Caltrans District 4, but there are three big similarities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First off, the color! Both bridges are a specific hue called international orange. It’s not a common color choice for bridges, and it’s been a distinguishing feature of the Golden Gate Bridge since it opened.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How international orange was chosen\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When the steel for the Golden Gate Bridge was brought on-site, it was coated in a red lead primer. The consulting architect, Irving F. Morrow, was weighing whether the color of the bridge should be as inconspicuous as possible — something like black or gray — or whether its color should call attention to it as a feature in the landscape. Ultimately, Morrow took inspiration from that red primer and how well it interacted with the green colors of the surrounding hills. He choose to paint the bridge international orange.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was an unusual color choice for a bridge, but not a totally obscure color in the general scheme of things. International orange shows up often in the aerospace industry to set objects apart from their surroundings. NASA astronauts have worn international orange flight suits; the first airplane to break the sound barrier was colored international orange; and the color is often seen on tall antennae.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One question we haven’t been able to fully answer is \u003cem>how\u003c/em> the Ponte 25 de Abril in Lisbon came to be painted international orange. Some speculate it was to match the color of the tile rooftops in town. Architects also may have taken the lead from the aerospace industry, and chosen international orange to keep the bridge safe from airplane or ship strikes. Or, just maybe, they were inspired by the Golden Gate Bridge, and how its color made the structure iconic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second similarity between the Golden Gate Bridge and the Ponte 25 de Abril: They’re both suspension bridges. Though that almost wasn’t the case! The design for the Golden Gate Bridge was originally a cantilever bridge that everyone thought was pretty ugly. An engineer named Leon Moisseiff proposed a suspension bridge instead. At that time steel was becoming a more popular choice for infrastructure projects, and suspension bridges don’t require as much material, so it keeps costs down.[emailsignup newslettername=\"baycurious\" align=\"right\"]“In the case of, especially, suspension bridges, they’re very elegant structures,” said Ney. “Beauty and function all at once.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The final similarity? Both bridges have been in James Bond films. The Ponte 25 de Abril was in \u003cem>On Her Majesty’s Secret Service\u003c/em> from 1969. (We couldn’t find the full clip online, but \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/rEyPwsz2j_k?t=401\">a snippet from the Bond film appears in this YouTube video\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Golden Gate was a location for \u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\">A View to a Kill\u003c/i>\u003cem>, \u003c/em>a 1985 James Bond movie with Roger Moore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsEKClO8Xyk\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The stealthy twin\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“There’s probably structurally and architecturally a better comparison with the Lisbon bridge and \u003cem>another bridge\u003c/em> that we have in the Bay Area,” said Ney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s the San Francisco Bay Bridge! Both the Bay Bridge and the Ponte 25 de Abril were built by American Bridge Company. (The Golden Gate Bridge was built by a subsidiary of Bethlehem Steel Corporation.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The [Ponte 25 de Abril] structure mirrors the Bay Bridge in the cross supports that you see in the towers to keep it strong. Both the Bay Bridge and the Lisbon bridge have crosses, and they also both have dual decks,” said Ney. The Golden Gate, meanwhile, has more square-shaped supports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11951841\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11951841 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/05/BridgesComparison.jpg\" alt='Close up views of the towers of three suspension bridges.

Ney said that when the eastern span of the Bay Bridge needed to be replaced, it was important to work with American Bridge Company because of their experience adding that lower deck to the Lisbon bridge without closing the bridge to traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Bridges are very special for the communities that they serve, not just getting people around, which is their primary function, but in their identity,” said Ney. “They make it possible for us to move goods and services, get where we need to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the structural similarities between the Bay Bridge and the Ponte 25 de Abril, Ney doesn’t expect people to stop comparing Portugal’s bridge to the Golden Gate Bridge anytime soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think just about any bridge gets compared to the Golden Gate,” he said. “It’s one of the most beautiful bridges on the planet Earth.

Both bridges are a specific hue called international orange. It’s not a common color choice for bridges, and it’s been a distinguishing feature of the Golden Gate Bridge since it opened.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How international orange was chosen\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When the steel for the Golden Gate Bridge was brought on-site, it was coated in a red lead primer. The consulting architect, Irving F. Morrow, was weighing whether the color of the bridge should be as inconspicuous as possible — something like black or gray — or whether its color should call attention to it as a feature in the landscape. Ultimately, Morrow took inspiration from that red primer and how well it interacted with the green colors of the surrounding hills. He choose to paint the bridge international orange.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was an unusual color choice for a bridge, but not a totally obscure color in the general scheme of things. International orange shows up often in the aerospace industry to set objects apart from their surroundings. NASA astronauts have worn international orange flight suits; the first airplane to break the sound barrier was colored international orange; and the color is often seen on tall antennae.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One question we haven’t been able to fully answer is \u003cem>how\u003c/em> the Ponte 25 de Abril in Lisbon came to be painted international orange. Some speculate it was to match the color of the tile rooftops in town. Architects also may have taken the lead from the aerospace industry, and chosen international orange to keep the bridge safe from airplane or ship strikes. Or, just maybe, they were inspired by the Golden Gate Bridge, and how its color made the structure iconic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second similarity between the Golden Gate Bridge and the Ponte 25 de Abril: They’re both suspension bridges. Though that almost wasn’t the case! The design for the Golden Gate Bridge was originally a cantilever bridge that everyone thought was pretty ugly. An engineer named Leon Moisseiff proposed a suspension bridge instead. At that time steel was becoming a more popular choice for infrastructure projects, and suspension bridges don’t require as much material, so it keeps costs down.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Both bridges have been in James Bond films. The Ponte 25 de Abril was in \u003cem>On Her Majesty’s Secret Service\u003c/em> from 1969. (We couldn’t find the full clip online, but \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/rEyPwsz2j_k?t=401\">a snippet from the Bond film appears in this YouTube video\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Golden Gate was a location for \u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\">A View to a Kill\u003c/i>\u003cem>, \u003c/em>a 1985 James Bond movie with Roger Moore.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/gsEKClO8Xyk'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/gsEKClO8Xyk'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch2>The stealthy twin\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“There’s probably structurally and architecturally a better comparison with the Lisbon bridge and \u003cem>another bridge\u003c/em> that we have in the Bay Area,” said Ney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s the San Francisco Bay Bridge! Both the Bay Bridge and the Ponte 25 de Abril were built by American Bridge Company. (The Golden Gate Bridge was built by a subsidiary of Bethlehem Steel Corporation.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The [Ponte 25 de Abril] structure mirrors the Bay Bridge in the cross supports that you see in the towers to keep it strong. Both the Bay Bridge and the Lisbon bridge have crosses, and they also both have dual decks,” said Ney. The Golden Gate, meanwhile, has more square-shaped supports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11951841\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11951841 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/05/BridgesComparison.jpg\" alt='Close up views of the towers of three suspension bridges.

Ney said that when the eastern span of the Bay Bridge needed to be replaced, it was important to work with American Bridge Company because of their experience adding that lower deck to the Lisbon bridge without closing the bridge to traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Bridges are very special for the communities that they serve, not just getting people around, which is their primary function, but in their identity,” said Ney. “They make it possible for us to move goods and services, get where we need to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the structural similarities between the Bay Bridge and the Ponte 25 de Abril, Ney doesn’t expect people to stop comparing Portugal’s bridge to the Golden Gate Bridge anytime soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think just about any bridge gets compared to the Golden Gate,” he said. “It’s one of the most beautiful bridges on the planet Earth.

That lone police van and roughly a half dozen police officers formed a line to try and stop hundreds of marchers from heading up Valencia.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Protesters shouted “quit your job!” and “you’re killing black people.” The officers then tried to leave and inch forward, but could not exit the crowd, which surrounded them. Pride marchers spray painted the van. Officers exited the van again, as demonstrators kicked the van and hit it with their fists. Officers rushed towards them with batons raised and pushed members of the crowd away. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One marcher spray painted an officer in the face with red paint. Eventually, the van exited the crowd to an alleyway. San Francisco Police Department spokespeople said they were “not aware” of any injuries or arrests, but said “we are aware that bottles were thrown at officers who were at Mission Station” and officers were also “assaulted” with “improvised wooden shields.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The march continued towards Market Street. By evening, the protesters reached the Castro and started a dance party.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before the incident, speakers at the Pride celebration drew a parallel between the criminalization of being gay and transgender and the recent police violence and protests across the country.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Local activist Norma Gallegos was there and said she feels over the last decade, Pride has been “gentrified, corporatized and commercialized.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Stonewall was the historical movement in New York, where Marsha P. Johnson, the Black trans woman, threw the first rock in the Stonewall Inn,” Gallegos said, “but here in San Francisco, we have Compton’s Cafeteria where it’s also about fighting the police brutality that was happening in the trans community at the time in the late 60s and early 70s.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gallegos said she wants to see systemic change and Pride return to its roots. She said \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pride has historically been anti-capitalist, queer and militant with the issues that have plagued and created barriers for Black, Indigenous, People of Color.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year’s San Francisco Pride march also saw police arresting activists from the transgender community, leading to harsh critique from the community. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/sf-police-chief-apologizes-for-historic-abuse-against-transgender-community/\">SFPD Police Chief Bill Scott later publicly apologized\u003c/a> for decades of “past actions” against the transgender community. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to listen to you and want to truly hear you,” Scott said, publicly. “We will atone for our past.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Uniting of Two Cities and Two Prides\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Saturday, the Bay Area community passed a pink torch from Oakland to San Francisco in a first ever joint-city Pride event.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over a dozen people gathered outside Oakland City Hall where mayor Libby Schaaf kicked off the celebration by passing a pink torch to Joe Hawkins, the founder of Oakland Pride and CEO of the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11826569\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11826569\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf and Joe Hawkins, founder of Oakland Pride and CEO of the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center, hold up the Pink Torch as they kick off the procession outside Oakland City Hall.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-536x402.jpg 536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf and Joe Hawkins, founder of Oakland Pride and CEO of the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center, hold up the Pink Torch as they kick off the procession outside Oakland City Hall. \u003ccite>(Julie Chang/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“You are such a leader in our city,” Schaaf told Hawkins, “You create a space of love and joy for our LGBTQI community, our family. And you have been doing that for years, even before you had a physical space, you were creating that space.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hawkins took the torch from Schaaf and addressed the Black Lives Matter movement.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Black people in this country were enslaved for longer than we have been free,” Hawkins said. “And Black LGBTQ lives matter, too. We have, for a very long time, been the targets and in between pillars of hate: homophobia from our own community — of Black people — and racism from white queer people and white heterosexual people. Today, this symbolic uniting of the Bay Area is hopefully a step forward,” he added.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hawkins told KQED that in the past there has been a division between Oakland and San Francisco, but this event would help bring them together at a time when everyone is locked down and sheltering in place. “It brings us all together \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">finally\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, like this has never happened. So we’re very grateful, and we’re so happy to have this pink torch to help carry us into the future,” he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hawkins walked over to Feelmore, a sex toy shop in downtown Oakland, and passed the torch over to Nenna Joiner, owner of the shop.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11826572\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11826572\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-4-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Joe Hawkins, founder of Oakland Pride and CEO of the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center, passes off the Pink Torch to Nenna Joiner, owner of sex toy shop Feelmore in downtown Oakland.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-4-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-4-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-4-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-4-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-4-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-4-536x402.jpg 536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-4.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joe Hawkins, founder of Oakland Pride and CEO of the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center, passes off the pink torch to Nenna Joiner, owner of sex toy shop Feelmore in downtown Oakland. \u003ccite>(Julie Chang/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The pink torch continued its journey as it circled Lake Merritt, with torchbearers passing it from one person to the next at locations significant to the LGBTQ and black community, including the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center, the site of the infamous “BBQ Becky” incident and a historic Black Panthers site.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The torch eventually made its way across the Bay Bridge and was handed off for a final time at Twin Peaks, where it was used to symbolically light an art installation of a massive pink triangle made of LED lights.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/karlmondon/status/1277096289470038018\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is the first time the Pink Triangle was made with lights instead of fabric since its debut 25 years ago. The creator of the annual Pink Triangle ritual, Patrick Carney, said the canvas used for the triangle would typically be laid out with the help of hundreds of volunteers, but due to social distancing restrictions amid the pandemic, they wouldn’t be able to do that this year.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carney teamed up with Illuminate, the group responsible for the dancing lights on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge known as the Bay Lights, to turn the Triangle into an art installation which features 2,700 hot pink LED lights and covers nearly an acre of ground.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Triangle will stay illuminated until July 10.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The pink triangle was used as a symbol of hate during the Holocaust when gay men were forced to wear it on their chest as an identifier, but organizers say it has been embraced by the gay community as a symbol of empowerment and pride.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Vandalism\u003c/b> \u003cb>strikes Pride\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just hours before the torch procession took place, Hawkin’s LGBTQ Center was attacked.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11826589\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11826589\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Oakland-LGBTQ-Center-vandalized-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"Oakland LGBTQ Community Center vandalized.

She said \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pride has historically been anti-capitalist, queer and militant with the issues that have plagued and created barriers for Black, Indigenous, People of Color.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year’s San Francisco Pride march also saw police arresting activists from the transgender community, leading to harsh critique from the community. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/sf-police-chief-apologizes-for-historic-abuse-against-transgender-community/\">SFPD Police Chief Bill Scott later publicly apologized\u003c/a> for decades of “past actions” against the transgender community. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to listen to you and want to truly hear you,” Scott said, publicly. “We will atone for our past.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Uniting of Two Cities and Two Prides\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Saturday, the Bay Area community passed a pink torch from Oakland to San Francisco in a first ever joint-city Pride event.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over a dozen people gathered outside Oakland City Hall where mayor Libby Schaaf kicked off the celebration by passing a pink torch to Joe Hawkins, the founder of Oakland Pride and CEO of the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11826569\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11826569\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf and Joe Hawkins, founder of Oakland Pride and CEO of the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center, hold up the Pink Torch as they kick off the procession outside Oakland City Hall.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1-536x402.jpg 536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Pink-Torch-1.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf and Joe Hawkins, founder of Oakland Pride and CEO of the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center, hold up the Pink Torch as they kick off the procession outside Oakland City Hall. \u003ccite>(Julie Chang/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“You are such a leader in our city,” Schaaf told Hawkins, “You create a space of love and joy for our LGBTQI community, our family.

We have, for a very long time, been the targets and in between pillars of hate: homophobia from our own community — of Black people — and racism from white queer people and white heterosexual people. Today, this symbolic uniting of the Bay Area is hopefully a step forward,” he added.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hawkins told KQED that in the past there has been a division between Oakland and San Francisco, but this event would help bring them together at a time when everyone is locked down and sheltering in place. “It brings us all together \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">finally\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, like this has never happened.

The creator of the annual Pink Triangle ritual, Patrick Carney, said the canvas used for the triangle would typically be laid out with the help of hundreds of volunteers, but due to social distancing restrictions amid the pandemic, they wouldn’t be able to do that this year.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carney teamed up with Illuminate, the group responsible for the dancing lights on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge known as the Bay Lights, to turn the Triangle into an art installation which features 2,700 hot pink LED lights and covers nearly an acre of ground.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Triangle will stay illuminated until July 10.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The pink triangle was used as a symbol of hate during the Holocaust when gay men were forced to wear it on their chest as an identifier, but organizers say it has been embraced by the gay community as a symbol of empowerment and pride.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Vandalism\u003c/b> \u003cb>strikes Pride\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just hours before the torch procession took place, Hawkin’s LGBTQ Center was attacked.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11826589\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11826589\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Oakland-LGBTQ-Center-vandalized-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"Oakland LGBTQ Community Center vandalized.
