Folsom street gay
San Francisco is gayer than a bareback orgy with a drag-show accompaniment on a normal evening. But, on the last Sunday in September every year, the city takes it to the gayest extreme with Folsom Street Equitable — the world&#;s largest leather event!
This fair is all about embracing your wild side and being true to your desires, without fear of judgment. It&#;s a loving slap in the face (with consent, of course!) to societal norms and conventions, encouraging everyone to express themselves freely.
