San Francisco Dyke March & Rally

I know this is part of the Pride festivities, but I just HAVE TO, HAVE TO, HAVE TO separate the Dyke March and Rally from the other Pride events. I mean, it’s organized independently so it needs to be in a category of its own! This is a nation-​wide movement!
San Francisco’s Dyke Rally and March is the biggest lesbian gathering in the nation… or so they say. «They» being the organizers. Whether or not this is true, the event of no doubt massive! I’ve seen it get bigger through the years and I know it’s still growing! I seriously teared up on my first Dyke Rally. So many lesbians… so many women! The energy was… beyond words. A few Dyke Rallies later, I was one of the many women who went there topless. It’s not about the nudity or the attention… to me, it’s about loving the fact that I’m a woman… and being liberated from my insecurities. Loud and proud!
Guilty, guilty me! I usually go for the rally, then I go home for a quick nap before the Pink Saturday party. I did march in 2010 and I’m so upset at myself for not joining the movement sooner. Strength in numbers! I had the opportunity to march with my GF, making it the first Dyke March for both of us. Looking back at all the lesbians covering the streets, it’s a beautiful sight. The streets are lined with supporters with signs of love. The houses and business along the route have created signs of their own. People throw house parties to view the march and toss beads and candy at the marchers. So much love!!!
