San Francisco Street Fair Would Make The Marquis de Sade Proud

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

If it pisses off a wingnut Puritan cryptofascist like Michelle Malkin, we knew it would be a helluva party...

The 2008 Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco, the wildest party in America that doesn't take place during Mardi Gras, did not disappoint-- and it never does. From guys blowing each other in front of cops to naked women whipping elderly women in front of unconcerned passerby (they've seen it all in SF!), it's no wonder the anti-free speech right wing is up in arms about the goings on. (They particularly think these disgusting acts should be done in private, but they never said anything over the years about what goes on at Mardi Gras... probably because they'd lost their voices from yelling for straight women to "take it off!")


Since Michelle is likely going to read this (trust us on this one), we'd just like to personally thank her for alerting us to the cocksucking, ass-grabbing, hedonistic good time we almost entirely missed out on. Thanks directly to your story, we're pretty sure a few of our readers who hadn't heard about the fest will book plane tickets for next year...   

From 2007, a local porn star represented the big-boob contingent...

Anyway, despite Malkin's dislike of the event and certainly a few locals try to stop it every year, this utterly pointless celebration will go on next year, we're sure, as planned. The police did nothing to stop it this time, calling it nothing more than "a free outdoor 'fetish' event... at which hundreds of thousands of mostly gay men stroll around the city streets in leather or rubber fetish outfits."

And what's wrong with that?

As a straight, non-leather gal, I enjoy going every year (no plane tickets involved, I live here in San Francisco).

Honestly, I've never heard of ANY local people who've tried to get rid of the Fair - and I've been here 15 years.

This year was fun(ny) because Julie Brown and Berlin played the Trannyshack stage.  Oh, 80's pop!
