At 6 p.m., marchers will make their way from Dolores Park, down Market Street, to Turk and Taylor streets — the Tenderloin site of the 1966 Compton’s Cafeteria riot, when trans San Franciscans pushed back against police discrimination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the celebration also comes just two months after the death of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11950796/banko-brown-family-files-wrongful-death-lawsuit-against-walgreens-security-company\">Banko Brown\u003c/a>, a Black transgender man who was shot and killed by Walgreens security guard Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony in late April, after allegedly shoplifting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While locally \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11949558/district-attorney-releases-video-of-banko-brown-shooting-at-walgreens-wont-files-charges-against-security-gaurd\">the investigation into Brown’s killing has been dropped by District Attorney Brooke Jenkins\u003c/a>, Brown’s death arrives at a time of unprecedented legal attacks on trans lives throughout the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/legislative-attacks-on-lgbtq-rights\">The ACLU is tracking 491 anti-LGBTQ+ bills in the U.S.\u003c/a> Those laws target many facets of trans people’s lives, from playing sports to using bathrooms, weakening nondiscrimination laws and banning medically necessary health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation isn’t much better close to home. In San Francisco, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ourtranshomesf.org/about\">transgender people are 18 times more likely to be unhoused than cisgender folks\u003c/a>, according to Our Trans Home SF. One out of two trans people have been unhoused, and 70% of them report being harassed when staying in homeless shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown had a similar experience, spending years struggling to find stable housing and at times being unhoused, including in the days leading up to his death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More Stories on Banko Brown' tag='banko-brown']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s in this time of turmoil, hate and hope that KQED reached out to trans people in Brown’s life who were part of his community at the Young Women’s Freedom Center, where Brown sought support and, eventually, became a staff community organizer: Xavier Davenport, 36, a Black transmasculine man who was Brown’s mentor; Kazani Kalani Finao, 33, a Samoan transmasculine man who took the role of community sibling; and Juju Pikes-Prince, 24, a Black transgender woman who was a trans auntie to other trans people at the center, including Brown. Davenport and Kalani Finao were born and raised in San Francisco. Pikes-Prince was born in Daly City and raised in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This wide-ranging conversation aimed to find the commonalities in their experiences and Brown’s, navigating homelessness in San Francisco, acceptance in their families, and how trans people can find joy, despite the obstacles that lie in their path.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez: We have some weighty topics to talk about today, but people aren’t just defined by trauma.

We like to call it their “center sibling.” So he’s a center sibling of mine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on a personal note, we just had amazing, great conversations personally. Just always sparring with each other, bouncing back with fun ideas. He was a bright, outgoing person. Like conversation was always immaculate, always amazing, and he was a visionary.

The pandemic was very hard for a lot of transmasculine folks. A lot of them were essential workers. A lot of them lost jobs. A lot of them were creators that lost jobs. Some of them were sex workers that lost jobs. So my focus was to empower those people and make sure that they were heard and make sure that they could have someone to talk to.

You always end up with some type of bedbug outbreak, MRSA outbreak. You got people fighting. When you put trans people in the shelter process, people talk bad about you. They treat you messed up, but they also use you for their sexual perversions. And that’s all trans people. And then, when you include a transmasculine person into the entire bit, they’re really mistreated. Right. Because then you have people that want to fight you because you think you’re a man. And so, they want to show you that you’re not a man. And so, you have to now deal [with] and navigate that experience as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so I said, the hell with that.

Then later on down the line when we lost another trans sister in the community, that’s when stuff started to come out like, oh, he’s looking for housing. He has nowhere to go. So he was struggling at some point around that time. And there’s only so much a person can do for an individual, you know, and you’re also struggling, too.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Juju Pikes-Prince, community auntie\"]‘Navigating homelessness in San Francisco is hard. It’s hard and it’s expensive, no matter what. … Shelters don’t protect my people either. Our stuff gets stolen. There’s fights that break out.’[/pullquote]Navigating homelessness in San Francisco is hard. It’s hard and it’s expensive, no matter what. Being homeless is still expensive. I was homeless for about two years. I was living with a dude and it just wasn’t working out. But then even shelters, shelters don’t protect you. Shelters don’t protect my people either. Our stuff gets stolen. There’s fights that break out. People look at us like we’re nasty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re mostly impacted [because] we’re probably on drugs, sex-working to find shelter, can’t get jobs because of who we are. It’s hard out here. I’m a sex worker, so I know, I know what it’s like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You all touched on discrimination in the homelessness process, to some extent. But I wonder if you could talk about discrimination in a different context — the day Banko Brown was killed by a security guard in Walgreens, in late April. \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>Some folks in the trans community said they sensed discrimination at play. Some people pushed back, pointing out that the security guard was also Black. I was hoping you could expand on what you suspect that discrimination could have been, from your own experiences.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Davenport: \u003c/strong>When you are a young Black, transmasculine-identified person, people see that. He walks in, he’s dark-skinned. He has a hat on, a T-shirt. And he looks very masculine. He has a little bit of a goatee growing in. People see that. And as another Black man, or being another man, there is a fight for power. There is a fight for or struggle for who is the man in this situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the thought process is, “You look like a little boy, or you’re trying to pretend to be a little boy.” Because let’s be clear. Banko had not had top surgery. He had not been going through that part of medical transitioning. He wasn’t stable enough in his housing to even get through that part of this process and the things that he wanted to do. So you have a masculine person with visible breasts coming at you. You are going to now struggle for your manhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s something that for people that are even lesbians who are more masculine looking, there is a struggle between men and any form of masculinity that, to them, isn’t necessarily real. Because, “You’re a woman. You can’t possibly be as masculine as me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know this. I’ve dealt with this my entire life. I deal with it from police officers. I deal with it from people in my community. I deal with that from people on the streets. I deal with that at all aspects of my life. Somebody always wants to show me who is the man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have a person with the gun who’s struggling for masculine power, then you put a powerful piece in his hand. You end up with this situation with Banko and many other situations around the country with transmasculine folks being killed. His is not the first. Unfortunately, it will not be the last. But this is the state of our country and what we live in right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pikes-Prince: \u003c/strong>And these are cases that are not getting covered, of Black trans men getting killed. We need to come together and start putting it out there so we all can be seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>We’ve seen a wave of conversations in public about Banko Brown’s identity since he was killed. And his death comes amid a national wave of anti-trans laws, as conservative lawmakers increasingly target the transgender community. \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>So I’d like to talk about acceptance. Let’s start close to home. Were you accepted by your family when you came out? What was that like? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Davenport: \u003c/strong>Me and my mother understand what’s happening. Because my mother birthed me. But my father and my siblings that my father has, my father’s children, they have a bit of a hard time. And so, we don’t necessarily talk the way that people would think family should or relatives should. But my mother respects who I am. My mother understands what has taken place. And she’s accepted that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pikes-Prince: \u003c/strong>My family, they understand, they’re very understanding. At first, it was tough, they just didn’t get it, the lifestyle. But when I told my mom everything and broke it down — you don’t want a dead child, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My father, on the other hand, he’s more big on education. He told me, he don’t care what I do. He wants me to graduate. I got it easy, in a way, but I still had it hard and I still struggle. Identity came into play. I’m just trying to come into myself, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You know [with] my mom, I was blunt, I do sex work, and I do this and that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And she was understanding?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pikes-Prince: \u003c/strong>I mean, she had to. I’m her child. I think really, partially, where she kind of understood after so long of me having to remind her because it took a time. So just a street life, how the street economy is, and not to put her business out there, but how she had to navigate homelessness herself and how she had to go about business to support about four children at the time or three.

Davenport and Kalani Finao were born and raised in San Francisco. Pikes-Prince was born in Daly City and raised in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This wide-ranging conversation aimed to find the commonalities in their experiences and Brown’s, navigating homelessness in San Francisco, acceptance in their families, and how trans people can find joy, despite the obstacles that lie in their path.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez: We have some weighty topics to talk about today, but people aren’t just defined by trauma.

We like to call it their “center sibling.” So he’s a center sibling of mine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on a personal note, we just had amazing, great conversations personally. Just always sparring with each other, bouncing back with fun ideas. He was a bright, outgoing person. Like conversation was always immaculate, always amazing, and he was a visionary. The struggle not only brought us together, but like I was able to like really build a relationship with him based on his gifts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11953513\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11953513 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66476_230614-BankoBrownChosenFam-23-BL-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A young Samoan descent man wearing large glasses with a goatee and moustache and curly brown hair leans against a wall in a quilted, lavender bomber jacket and alight gray T-shirt.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66476_230614-BankoBrownChosenFam-23-BL-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66476_230614-BankoBrownChosenFam-23-BL-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66476_230614-BankoBrownChosenFam-23-BL-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66476_230614-BankoBrownChosenFam-23-BL-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66476_230614-BankoBrownChosenFam-23-BL-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66476_230614-BankoBrownChosenFam-23-BL-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kazani Kalani Finao poses for a portrait in San Francisco on June 14, 2023. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Davenport: \u003c/strong>He became my mentee [at Young Women’s Freedom Center].

The pandemic was very hard for a lot of transmasculine folks. A lot of them were essential workers. A lot of them lost jobs. A lot of them were creators that lost jobs. Some of them were sex workers that lost jobs. So my focus was to empower those people and make sure that they were heard and make sure that they could have someone to talk to. And so, Banko would come to those groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He enjoyed being able to be around other transmasculine people, focusing on how we can do something different for each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You said he felt like a visionary.

And then, when you include a transmasculine person into the entire bit, they’re really mistreated. Right. Because then you have people that want to fight you because you think you’re a man.

I was homeless for about two years. I was living with a dude and it just wasn’t working out. But then even shelters, shelters don’t protect you. Shelters don’t protect my people either. Our stuff gets stolen. There’s fights that break out. People look at us like we’re nasty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re mostly impacted [because] we’re probably on drugs, sex-working to find shelter, can’t get jobs because of who we are. It’s hard out here. I’m a sex worker, so I know, I know what it’s like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You all touched on discrimination in the homelessness process, to some extent. But I wonder if you could talk about discrimination in a different context — the day Banko Brown was killed by a security guard in Walgreens, in late April. \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>Some folks in the trans community said they sensed discrimination at play. Some people pushed back, pointing out that the security guard was also Black. I was hoping you could expand on what you suspect that discrimination could have been, from your own experiences.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Davenport: \u003c/strong>When you are a young Black, transmasculine-identified person, people see that. He walks in, he’s dark-skinned. He has a hat on, a T-shirt. And he looks very masculine. He has a little bit of a goatee growing in. People see that. And as another Black man, or being another man, there is a fight for power. There is a fight for or struggle for who is the man in this situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the thought process is, “You look like a little boy, or you’re trying to pretend to be a little boy.” Because let’s be clear. Banko had not had top surgery. He had not been going through that part of medical transitioning. He wasn’t stable enough in his housing to even get through that part of this process and the things that he wanted to do. So you have a masculine person with visible breasts coming at you. You are going to now struggle for your manhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s something that for people that are even lesbians who are more masculine looking, there is a struggle between men and any form of masculinity that, to them, isn’t necessarily real. Because, “You’re a woman. You can’t possibly be as masculine as me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know this. I’ve dealt with this my entire life. I deal with it from police officers. I deal with it from people in my community. I deal with that from people on the streets. I deal with that at all aspects of my life. Somebody always wants to show me who is the man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have a person with the gun who’s struggling for masculine power, then you put a powerful piece in his hand. You end up with this situation with Banko and many other situations around the country with transmasculine folks being killed. His is not the first. Unfortunately, it will not be the last.

We need to come together and start putting it out there so we all can be seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>We’ve seen a wave of conversations in public about Banko Brown’s identity since he was killed. And his death comes amid a national wave of anti-trans laws, as conservative lawmakers increasingly target the transgender community. \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>So I’d like to talk about acceptance.

What was that like? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Davenport: \u003c/strong>Me and my mother understand what’s happening. Because my mother birthed me. But my father and my siblings that my father has, my father’s children, they have a bit of a hard time. And so, we don’t necessarily talk the way that people would think family should or relatives should. But my mother respects who I am. My mother understands what has taken place. And she’s accepted that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pikes-Prince: \u003c/strong>My family, they understand, they’re very understanding. At first, it was tough, they just didn’t get it, the lifestyle. But when I told my mom everything and broke it down — you don’t want a dead child, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My father, on the other hand, he’s more big on education. He told me, he don’t care what I do. He wants me to graduate. I got it easy, in a way, but I still had it hard and I still struggle. Identity came into play. I’m just trying to come into myself, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You know [with] my mom, I was blunt, I do sex work, and I do this and that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And she was understanding?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pikes-Prince: \u003c/strong>I mean, she had to. I’m her child. I think really, partially, where she kind of understood after so long of me having to remind her because it took a time. So just a street life, how the street economy is, and not to put her business out there, but how she had to navigate homelessness herself and how she had to go about business to support about four children at the time or three. She understood: “As long as you’re safe, I love you.” We’ve got a good relationship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11953511\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11953511 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66461_230614-BankoBrownChosenFam-02-BL-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A young Black woman with short black hair, lash extensions, black sunglasses on top of her head and a crop-top black hoodie, with long pink fingernails and sunglasses, sits on a blue sofa in a brightly lit room.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66461_230614-BankoBrownChosenFam-02-BL-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66461_230614-BankoBrownChosenFam-02-BL-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66461_230614-BankoBrownChosenFam-02-BL-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66461_230614-BankoBrownChosenFam-02-BL-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66461_230614-BankoBrownChosenFam-02-BL-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66461_230614-BankoBrownChosenFam-02-BL-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Juju Pikes-Prince poses for a portrait in San Francisco on June 14, 2023. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I just want to say this, too, because there was narratives being painted [publicly about Banko’s relationship with his family].

Wives Luisa Hurtado and Nicole Brown also were at the Family Pride block party. They worried how losing same-sex marriage rights would affect their co-owned business, and their hope to adopt a child from Colombia, where Hurtado hails from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want to adopt and kind of have kids that are also part of my culture,\" Hurtado said. They thought there had been enough progress in both countries to make that dream a reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even worse, Brown felt Thomas' warning spurred unanswered questions that could lead to diminished lives. \"What if we can't be gay at work? What if we need to shield ourselves, and be a fraction of who we are?\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the bay, Lake Merritt played host to Oakland Black Pride. James Cox, advocacy director for the eponymous organization that sponsors the event, said despite the Pride weekend celebrations, the recent Supreme Court decision was top of everybody's mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is just a start, taking away women’s rights. Next it’s going to be taking away LGBTQ rights, trans rights, the rights of interracial couples. Like, how far are they going to go with this?\" they asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Friday's decision, Justice Thomas cited three past rulings to revisit, centering on contraception, sodomy and same-sex marriage. Melissa Murray, an NYU legal scholar with expertise in constitutional law, told NPR that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/06/25/1107663904/roe-v-wade-repeal-raises-questions-about-other-constitutional-rights\">Thomas essentially pointed the way toward other laws the public could push for reconsideration\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In doing so, he's essentially inviting future challenges to rights of same-sex marriage, rights of contraception, rights of parents to raise their children in the manner of their choosing,\" Murray said. \"All of those rights are underlaid by the same grant of liberty that Roe was underlaid by, and that has been found to be insufficient to root this in constitutional protection.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while Thomas' fellow conservative justices explicitly wrote that their decision to overturn Roe v. Wade should not, and would not, affect those other decisions, the liberal justices plainly disagreed in their dissenting opinion.[aside postID=\"arts_13915237,news_11918017\" label=\"Related Posts\"]\"No one should be confident that this majority is done\u003cbr>\nwith its work,\" wrote justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer. \"The right Roe and Casey recognized does not stand alone. To the contrary, the Court has linked it for decades to other settled freedoms involving bodily integrity, familial relationships, and procreation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those rights, the justices wrote, \"are all part of the same constitutional fabric.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown — the self-proclaimed \"Ayatollah of the Assembly,\" a political star-maker and long-respected political watcher — made a similar analysis to KQED on Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're full of shit,\" said Brown in regard to the statements by conservative justices assuring people that the Dobbs decision would not affect same-sex marriage. (His opinion was phrased in what was \u003cem>perhaps\u003c/em> a more pointed fashion than that of the liberal Supreme Court justices.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked whether he thought Justice Thomas is alone on the court in his opinion, Brown replied, \"Not at all. Of course he isn't alone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown spoke from just outside an annual Pride breakfast hosted by the Alice B. Toklas LGBTQ Democratic Club, an annual feast before the parade where LGBTQ+ advocates and politicians hobnob. The club's San Franciscan namesake, writer Alice B. Toklas, lived with writer Gertrude Stein in Paris for years as they hosted art salons together; theirs has been described as \"\u003ca href=\"https://jweekly.com/2016/12/23/paris-and-gay-love-through-the-eyes-of-gertrude-stein-and-alice-b-toklas/\">one of the best gay love stories of the 20th century\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toklas died in Paris at the age of 89. But even in her \u003ca href=\"https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/98/05/03/specials/stein-toklasobit.html\">New York Times obituary\u003c/a>, which was written in 1967, she was described merely as Stein's \"longtime friend.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sunday morning, inside the walls of the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Hotel, politicians warned attendees of the Toklas Pride breakfast that conservatives threaten to take the country back to such an era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These laws that they're passing are creating absolute terror for members of our community across this country,\" said State Sen. Scott Wiener, specifically naming Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose now-infamous \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/03/28/1089221657/dont-say-gay-florida-desantis\">Don't Say Gay\u003c/a>\" bill restricts schools from discussing everyday gay life. It's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/04/10/1091543359/15-states-dont-say-gay-anti-transgender-bills\">also inspired copycat bills\u003c/a> throughout the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These laws are not just bad. We all deal with bad laws that get passed,\" Wiener told the crowd. \"These are laws that literally question whether our community has a right to exist, whether we have a right to exist.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener, who is openly gay, has received multiple death threats, including a recent bomb threat that was deemed credible enough to send a bomb squad to his home. He noted that it wasn't that long ago that people with hate in their hearts would drive long distances to beat gay men in the Castro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're used to violence, unfortunately, in this community. We also know how to fight back,\" Wiener said. \"Clarence Thomas did us a favor by saying the quiet part out loud, that Roe is just the beginning. They want to reinstate anti-sodomy laws. They want to end marriage equality. They want to end contraception.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So guess what? We're not going back\" to those times, Wiener said. \"Not ever. That means we should be pissed off and should anger-tweet, but that's not enough. We have to win elections.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, also at the Pride breakfast, offered another solution: putting Republicans on the record about their positions, in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/FitzTheReporter/status/1541097167951040512\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So what we plan to do is put all these things back on the agenda so we can put them on the record. Enshrining Roe v. Wade as law of the land. Passing the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/02/24/969591569/house-to-vote-on-equality-act-heres-what-the-law-would-do\">Equality Act,\u003c/a>\" Pelosi said, referring to a ban on discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But outside the breakfast, late in the morning as the crowds for the Pride parade began to form on Market Street, Brown sounded a more clear-eyed warning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We went to sleep a long time ago as Democrats. We had no vision of what tomorrow could be like. And as we achieved all the things we achieved, redefining, etcetera, we didn't understand we needed to protect them,\" he said, referring to abortion rights and rights for LGBTQ+ communities. \"The Republicans knew exactly how to ultimately get rid of them, and they did what they needed to do at every level. They started with justices of the peace and [went] all the way up to the Supreme Court. That's the way it is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Standing just before the Hyatt's wide, revolving doors, Brown and this reporter could see Pride revelers beginning to gather outside. Brown gave his view plainly: Democrats have failed. And with those failures come very real consequences not only for people who can become pregnant but, soon, possibly everyone who was celebrating under the colorful Pride banners fluttering just outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Daphne Young contributed to this report.

He noted that it wasn't that long ago that people with hate in their hearts would drive long distances to beat gay men in the Castro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're used to violence, unfortunately, in this community. We also know how to fight back,\" Wiener said. \"Clarence Thomas did us a favor by saying the quiet part out loud, that Roe is just the beginning. They want to reinstate anti-sodomy laws. They want to end marriage equality. They want to end contraception.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So guess what? We're not going back\" to those times, Wiener said. \"Not ever. That means we should be pissed off and should anger-tweet, but that's not enough.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At an impromptu San Francisco Pride protest march, demonstrators called for solidarity between the LGBTQ community and the Black Lives Matter movement, drawing parallels between decades-long police violence to both communities.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carrying echoes of those cries, police wielded batons at San Francisco Pride marchers in a tense clash, Sunday afternoon.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the city’s official 50th annual Pride celebration went virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person celebrations sparked a gathering at Mission Dolores Park, with hundreds taking to the streets for a “Pride is a Riot” march.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">An anonymous group of organizers came together to put on the decentralized protest, which called back the anarchist roots of Pride in solidarity with the recent nationwide protests against police violence.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/KQEDnews/status/1277457603728007170\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But, when Pride demonstrators marched from Dolores Park and tried to turn left onto Valencia from 18th Street, a white police van drove south down Valencia Street and parked across it. 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.

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.

It’s like my sibling, Rosebud’s. It’s like the fourth child.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His parents and aunt and uncle opened Rosebud’s, and his brother, Roibeard Kyle, is the chef. “When the farm has a bumper crop of something, we’re going to use those for sure. It’s like a dialogue between the restaurant and the farm.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyx’s sister, Meghan, has worked here throughout her life, but the day I visit she’s a customer, celebrating a friend’s birthday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mary says the family really started supporting LGBTQ issues when Meghan came out as a lesbian in high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In this community that was really scary,” Mary says.

There was the controversial neon-pink baseball cap, and the short hair dyed purple that provoked a teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She pulled me aside on the way out to PE one day and told me that I was ruining my life,” Tyx recalls. He pauses, then continues, “I knew then that she was wrong. But what I didn’t know was how her saying that would still be a part of my consciousness, 30 years later. That’s obscene! I was just a fat little girl. I was just trying to be OK.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He didn’t know it then, but Tyx is a trans man. Playing with his look, he learned about himself. There was a mohawk, clothes cut up and pieced back together, decorated with safety pins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For me, our parents giving us the room to express ourselves through our physical aesthetic was a matter of my survival. If I wasn’t cutting my hair, I might have cut myself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says that, especially in his mother, he had a model of how to show his true self, even at church. When others filled the back pews, he says, “My family always went straight to the front and sat in the front row, mohawk, purple hair and all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyx remembers his mom getting chastised for changing the words of hymns, like referring to God as “she.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s who was looking out for me, this woman who was strong enough to say, ‘These are the right words for the song I’m singing. I’m talking right now from my soul.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With that family support, Tyx has moved through the restaurant with ease and authority since he was a kid. Today, he’s wearing a kilt, his full red beard braided, as he handles orders and recommends local sights to visitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11758127\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11758127\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Tyx-Waits-Tables-800x742.jpg\" alt=\"Tyx Pulskamp greets customers at Rosebud's Cafe.

School never felt safe. That’s not healthy for our brains,” he says. But at Rosebud’s he saw every table of customers as a stage. “And it allowed me to learn my own voice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As high school began, Tyx knew he was attracted to women. He presented as butch and bound his breasts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mary remembers a groundbreaking moment. “Tyx started the Gay-Straight Alliance at Amador High School, and it caused just an uproar in the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyx adds, “I did not go to ‘Glee,’ OK. School was rough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in a school of fewer than 800 students, Tyx says he and his collaborators collected over 100 signatures in support of starting the club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The local paper covered their efforts, and letters to the editor showed a community divided. Mary remembers with a sad laugh that some claimed the students wanted to start a sex club in the high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More From the California Foodways Series\" link1=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11749853/a-humble-burger-helped-fuel-the-building-of-shasta-dam-and-shaped-a-community-in-redding,A Humble Burger Helped Fuel the Building of Shasta Dam and Shaped a Community in Redding\" link2=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11672776/providing-a-taste-of-oaxaca-in-the-central-valley,Providing a Taste of Oaxaca in the Central Valley\" link3=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11489170/nancys-airport-cafe-where-regulars-fly-in-for-pie,Welcome to Nancy's Airport Cafe, Where Regulars Fly in for Pie\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyx was really exposed. “I have been followed home. I have been run off the highway. I had dog shit smeared in the front seat of my car parked in front of my childhood home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was difficult times,” Mary adds. They both remember a downturn in customers coming to Rosebud’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyx says, “I had friends whose parents grounded them from me, so it didn’t seem unusual that there were people who were uninterested in dining with us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As high school wound down, Tyx still didn’t know the word transgender, but he did something really dramatic for a new teenage driver:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just couldn’t stop myself. I cut my driver’s license in half right over the gender marker.” Soon after going off to college, Tyx sat his parents down and said, “If it’s all right, I think I’d like to be your son now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After college in Santa Cruz and a few years in Sacramento, Tyx returned to Jackson. He loves the country, and the rolling hills of Amador County, and wanted to be part of his family’s new farm-to-fork efforts at Rosebud’s. Coming home also meant returning to the sanctuary of the restaurant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have experienced a great deal of trauma at points in my life when my brain was still developing,” Tyx says. He deals with PTSD and agoraphobia, and went through periods when he couldn’t work. Having a safe space to be his whole self, Tyx says, is essential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11758130\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11758130\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Rosebuds-Cafe-Sign-800x887.jpg\" alt=\"The Pulskamp family has run Rosebud's Cafe on Jackson's main street for nearly 30 years.\" width=\"800\" height=\"887\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Rosebuds-Cafe-Sign-800x887.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Rosebuds-Cafe-Sign-160x177.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Rosebuds-Cafe-Sign-1020x1131.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Rosebuds-Cafe-Sign-1082x1200.jpg 1082w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Rosebuds-Cafe-Sign-1920x2129.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Rosebuds-Cafe-Sign.jpg 1847w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Pulskamp family has run Rosebud’s Cafe on Jackson’s main street for nearly 30 years. \u003ccite>(Asal Ehsanipour/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One night after closing, Rosebud’s hosts a potluck for the Tri-County LGBT Alliance, which, among other things, puts on a pride parade nearby.

It’s hard to do that in the middle of the city,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cindy Sparks attends with her three kids. “My wife and I just decided one day, we’re going to move to the mountains,” she says with a laugh. They enrolled their kids in a one-room schoolhouse. “I found it really easy to connect with people here, which is amazing because in the city I found less opportunities to meet people. So I love it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sixteen-year-old Miles goes to the youth group that Tyx started in the region, but is attending the potluck for the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m basically here because I think meeting a lot of people who are going through the same thing helps, you know, develop like who I’m going to be when I grow up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miles’ mom is here in support, but struggling with pronouns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I love her to death.

They both remember a downturn in customers coming to Rosebud’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyx says, “I had friends whose parents grounded them from me, so it didn’t seem unusual that there were people who were uninterested in dining with us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As high school wound down, Tyx still didn’t know the word transgender, but he did something really dramatic for a new teenage driver:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just couldn’t stop myself.

He loves the country, and the rolling hills of Amador County, and wanted to be part of his family’s new farm-to-fork efforts at Rosebud’s. Coming home also meant returning to the sanctuary of the restaurant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have experienced a great deal of trauma at points in my life when my brain was still developing,” Tyx says.
