During last year’s Pride week festivities downtown, San Francisco hosted an elaborate party complete with champagne toasts, a dance club featuring dueling DJs, a rope-wielding dominatrix, performers swinging around a stripper pole in a VIP lounge and actors gallivanting around attendees dressed up in black-tie attire.
This spectacle of delightful debauchery transpired in an unusual space: a 132-year-old bank near some of the city’s most troubled areas.
