"It was a beautiful day on Friday at San Francisco's famed Dolores Park; the perfect setting to kick off the annual Trans March, one of the first events of the city's Pride festivities.
But instead of cheering or rallying, the crowd at Dolores was angry. The group reportedly heckled, swore, mooned, and gave the finger to California state senator Mark Leno. The gay Democratic politician and San Francisco native challenged his critics, which only enflamed the situation."
Yeah, he didn't exactly go over well. To his credit he did push some state legislation to ban discrimination against transgender persons, which he made sure to announce. The local community would prefer to see him a bit more involved than in his annual PR appearance at TransMarch, though, and are a bit upset about other things he is supporting.
