circa '69-'70 It had an extemrly colorful representation from all parts of the Gay world in SF; There were several squads of police encircling Speedway meadows with all the accoutrements de guerr. From mounted to the infamous "Honda Hogs" on their Honda 90s Of course Tac Squad was there too. They knew who to grab first. Well no one blinked and went on to enjoy a day in the park, The FootlightsClub , a gay commune was there along with "The Honeymoon hotel" house that was a core house of the Cockettes,( see " Elevator Girls In Bondage"). Our house was there, too.So ther was a lot of genderfuck and sequins , a few, elaborate headdresses. Plus the usual Gay Lib regulars. THE POLICE, all the while hiding in the bushes surrounding Speedway. Apparently when the afternoon waned on with no provocation. The pigs started rounding up the Tenderloin crowd (Lots of Drag) and putting them in the black moria. Everyone on surrounded the event and jeered the police as one by one the queens were escourted into the awaiting paddywagon. We gave each and everyone a round of applause and they waved to the crowd back. sadly there were few camera phones around, like none.they got a few of us but they had to do it publically, in front of a disapproving crowd. San Francisco was considered a Gay friendly city.
