Activist Michael Petrelis has a great report on the fundie Folsom Street Fair protest (it's hard to call something this feeble a protest), outside of San Francisco City Hall on Friday. He has lots of great shots of the event, including The Peter (Michael to him: "You're sweating like a pig."). A snippet of the fun:

Before LaBarbera began his event I engaged him in small talk, shook his hand, and he asked how I was doing. We've dealt with each other before and we have a small rapport. After exchanging pleasantries, I held up a sign showing Ayaz Marhoni and Mahmoud Asgari, two gay teens hanged in Iran in 2005, moments before they were executed, with these words next to the image: "STOP the executions of gays in Iran, Iraq & Saudi Arabia."
