In response to Gov. Gavin Newsom's controversial comments regarding the transgender community during a podcast, activists staged a march on International Transgender Day of Visibility. The march, which included over 100 participants, took place in Kentfield, where Newsom recently bought a home. The atmosphere was celebratory, featuring chants, supportive neighbors, and even a flash mob dance party. The event highlighted the tensions within Newsom's political base and the community's support for LGBTQ rights, symbolizing a grassroots response to perceived anti-trans sentiments.
"More than 100 of us marched to Gavin's house in Kentfield without incident. There was much joy and chanting along the way, with neighbors honking and holding up signs along the route."
"We stopped at Gavin's house and heard some lovely blessings from Sister Shalita Corndog [of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence] and then commenced into a flash mob dance party to 'Born This Way' and 'Pink Pony Club.'"
