On Wednesday evening, after federal Judge Vaughn Walker declared California's Proposition 8 unconstitutional, there was a march down Market Street from the Castro to City Hall. Unfortunately, the evening was grey and freezing cold, and the political speeches mostly uninspiring while solemnly invoking the ghost of Harvey Milk.
One of the few in the crowd carrying on in the spirit of the very un-solemn Harvey Milk was Anna Conda/Glendon Hyde (above), the Tenderloin drag queen, performance artist and poor people's political activist. Anna is running for Supervisor in District 6 this November, and good luck to Ms. Conda & Mr. Hyde.
Just a side note here, Mike, but with the references to Harvey Milk -- just wanted to mention that I found Harvey Milk's crypt the other day at the Columbarium.
ReplyDeleteNice shot. I'm a big fan of Anna Conda's campaign and agree that it exemplifies the real spirit of Harvey Milk, unapologetically.
