There was a huge turnout at the “Drag up! Fight Back!” march and rally in San Francisco Saturday. Thousands gathered outside City Hall and marched to Union Square to speak out against hate.
Honey Mahogany, an activist and Chair of the San Francisco Democratic Party said people’s lives are in danger, and the LGBTQ+ community and allies need to take a stand.
She said, “We know how to organize. We know how to get loud, and we know how to fight back.” State Sen. Scott Wiener was also at the event. Organizers said drag queens and the trans community are being demonized. This rally was a response to all extreme queer rhetoric.
Gabby Burgos-Colón with the Harvey Milk Club said, "Visibility is important, having space is important, being able to make decisions for our community for ourselves is important. I saw a lot of that today."
Saturday’s rally came just days after the death of Heklina, a San Francisco drag icon. Heklina was honored at the event. Many held signs with her picture.
