"Despite San Francisco's renown as a safe haven for LGBT people, more than two-thirds of LGBT people in the city have experienced physical violence, according to a report issued today.

For transgender people, who are amidst a national homicide epidemic, those rates are even higher: Nearly 4 out of 5 transgender people in San Francisco reported experiencing physical violence."

I was always skeptical about how progressive California was.

And I wonder what the 'accepted' LGBTQI population of SF is.. As it appears the sample size was only 400.. More than 1/2 of which were gay men. While the results are interesting and certainly worthy of some review, I wonder how truly the represent the situation.

I recently drove through SF and despite having visited, lived and worked there for much of my life, barely recognized the place.   Most of the queer and LGBT population has long since been gentrified over to the East Bay and elsewhere.  Even the Mission feels like a suburb of Google, to say nothing of Noe Valley and the Castro.
